Co-op Apple Crisp

This is a recipe I've used a million times. I generally do it by feel, just throwing in some oats and flour and sugar and cinnamon and adding butter to make it delicious. As for the title, I've been a member of a co-op for the last 3 and a half years and have made this recipe countless times in that co-op kitchen, usually in batches big enough for a hundred people or so! So let's get to the recipe!

The apples in the pan, tossed with cinnamon and sugar.

Here's the topping- basically looks like crumbs.

And here's the crisp ready for the oven!
