Vegan Apple Crisp

My friend/roommate's Mom brought us more than a bushel of apples from New York. The apples were welcomed, even if the amount was overwhelming. I didn't want them to go to waste, so I made my very first apple crumple. And I'm more than a little pleased with the results!

Ingredients:

10 heaping cups of apples, cored and sliced into chunks (I left the peels on).
1 C sugar
1 C water
2 T cornstarch
1 T cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1 C flour
3/4 C quick oats
1 C brown sugar
1/2 C vegan margarine, melted

Instructions:

1. Spread apples in an unreleased 9x13" pan.
2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, water, and cornstarch.
3. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and semi-translucent.
4. Pour mixture over apples.
5. Sprinkle apples generously with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
6. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, oatmeal, and brown sugar.
7. Stir in the margarine until mixture is crumbly.
8. Sprinkle streusel evenly over apples. Press lightly.
9. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until apples are tender and streusel is golden.
10. Serve hot, with a dollop of vanilla soy ice cream.

*I didn't have brown sugar, but white sugar with a sprinkle of vinegar worked just fine. I also didn't have cloves, so I used pumpkin pie spice. I didn't measure my spices; I was very generous. And it was a good idea on my part. Seriously, this dish is delectable.
