Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. You'll need a large pot in which to cook the apples and then a 9-inch pie plate for the composed crisp. First, start your apples. Peel, core, and slice them and toss all 6 cups into the large pot. Add all other filling ingredients and cook, covered, on medium for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Your apples will be softer and less opaque. After cooking the apples, pour them into your pie plate and set aside.

While the apples are cooking, make the topping. In a large bowl, stir together all of the topping ingredients until fully combined.  Crumble the topping over the apples in the pie plate and bake for 30-40 minutes until top is golden brown and apples are bubbling. Let cool almost completely before serving. Great with vanilla ice cream!
