An all-time classic – simple, easy-to-make Apple Crisp with soft, juicy, flavorful apples with a crisp crumble top.
Today’s question is: What is your favorite Apple recipe?
Meet The Husband’s favorite dessert.
A simple, easy-to-throw-together Apple Crisp.
This is how it looks before baking. Not so crispy. We need to change that with a bit of oven action. 😉
And after baking, it gets a nice golden ‘crisp’ brown. That’s much better, don’t you think?
I wasn’t going to start pummeling you with apple recipes until September…but, whether we like it or not, fall is here.
See? Puffy orange proof right here.

These happy little chubsters made their grand entrance at the grocery store on 8/22. And, fall doesn’t even officially start until September 22nd!
Talk about being early to the party. 🙂 At least they’re a jovial bunch!
With this post, I just need to warn you ~ I’m not even {thisclose} to being done with my apple recipes yet. I just got started! Are you sure you’re ready for apple recipes galore???
I’ll let the grocery store continue to push pumpkins. There’s plenty of time for pumpkin recipes later. 🙂
I have to admit, I was almost tempted to take the little cone head one home. He looks like he’d fit in here ~ he’s so happy! Then, I could say all proud-like “Yea, that’s my kid, there in the middle!” 🙂
Enjoy!
