OUR FAVORITE APPLE CRISP

We aren’t big on desserts at our house. But when the Fall season comes around, it is a tradition to make apple crisp. Through the years I have tried many different apple crisp recipes, but this one is hands-down our favorite!  It was originally included in a church cookbook, but no credit was given to the person who created it. We have since adopted it as our ‘secret family recipe’. I guess it won’t be very secret anymore!

I have a feeling that once you try this recipe it will be a favorite of yours also. The topping has a nutty, caramel flavor which pairs perfectly with the tartness of the apples.

HOW TO MAKE THIS DELICIOUS DESSERT

You are going to be shocked that something that tastes so amazing is so easy to create!

  1. Wash all apples thoroughly
  2. Core the apples. To speed up the process, I like to use a corer. Although you can if you prefer, there is no need to peel the apples
  3. Slice apples into bite sized pieces. The thinner the slices, the more quickly they will cook through
  4. Place apple pieces into the baking pan
  5. Mix together remaining ingredients in a separate bowl until blended
  6. Cover apples with the topping mixture
  7. Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes, until apples are soft

CHEESY HASHBROWN CASSEROLE

I was first introduced to this dish after the birth of our first son. Friends had generously started a ‘meal-train’ of sorts, something that this brand new mommy was more than appreciative of! It came to me prepared, with baking instructions, so that I simply needed to pop it into the oven when I was ready for a hot, home cooked meal.
