This is a recipe that came as a direct result of the 2020 Quarantine. We found ourselves at home without hope of eating the “Cornetto” and Cappuccino that we had become so accustomed to on Saturday morning. So on our Anniversary morning I was thinking what I could make for Jeff that was special.
What can be better than Apple Pie? Not much, ….but maybe Apple Crisp! If my husband is going to request a dessert, it’s going to be Apple Pie, but then sometimes he hesitates and changes it to Apple Crisp. I’m always happy to make Apple Crisp instead of Apple Pie because it’s so much easier! No crust to roll out and form, just oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter and flour tossed together and dumped on top of sliced apples and baked. I actually agree that it is better than Apple Pie, I mean, all of that brown sugar goodness mingled with fragrant cinnamon and crunchy oats! So delicious with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, it’s even better the next day for breakfast! Ice cream and all!
The Autumn air is crisp, the leaves are falling and the apples are ready for harvest. Its time to pack the family up and take a drive to the apple orchards and partake of the yearly tradition of picking apples.
