Desert made easy!
Apple Crisp is a legendary home cooked dessert. The good news is, you don’t have to be able to craft a beautiful, flakey pie crust, or bake it exactly like grandma did. This apple desert (or breakfast on a special occasion) is super simple, fast and easy to make.
It is also an adaptable recipe to alter to suit your tastebuds. Select your apple depending on your palette – do you prefer sweet, dry? Bake your favorite variety into the dish.

You can also reduce the amount of sugar you use to make this treat a little more healthy. When eating for breakfast, try serving with organic greek yogurt and fresh berries.
If you’re looking to indulge with a night of sweets, go for the ultimate pairing – apple pie and vanilla ice cream.
Fun tip: Try a spiral apple corer – it speeds things up and the kids love to help out!
