They were also more than sufficient for apple crispage. Yes, I said crispage.

I start with the Apple Crisp recipe from Epicurious:
Topping
1 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
Filling
4 pounds pippin or Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, sliced
1 1/2 cups golden or brown raisins
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Vanilla ice cream
Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 9 x 13 1/2-inch glass baking dish.
For Topping: Mix old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, all purpose flour, ground cinnamon and salt in large bowl. Add unsalted butter and rub into mixture until coarse crumbs form. Mix in chopped walnuts.
For Filling: Combine sliced apples, raisins, sugar, fresh lemon juice, flour and ground cinnamon in large bowl. Mix well to blend. Transfer apple-raisin filling to prepared dish. Spread topping over. Bake until topping is golden brown, about 55 minutes. Serve crisp warm with scoops of vanilla ice cream.
Literate Baker notes: As much as I love nuts and raisins, I make this recipe without. I know--weird. Also, I used a combination of my pickin's: Northern Spy, Empire, and Fuji.

Say what you will about apple pie, apple cake, apple streudel--they are nothing compared to this crisp. It's insanely good and the most delightful fall way to...
Keep it sweet.
