We love apple picking. We love it so much that we get totally carried away each year when we go…
When I tell you that we picked 90 pounds of apples a few weeks ago, I mean that we probably picked about 125 pounds of apples. We filled three, 30 pound bags, to the brim, and ended up with a few extra little bags on the side (drops and overflow).
Are you like this? Does your whole family enjoy plucking ripe, delicious fruit from the trees so much that you end up awash in apples at the end of your excursion? If so, Apple Crisp is one of the best ways to manage your apple overload. When I say “best,” I mean, it’ super easy, you can use ingredients already in your pantry, it’s as delicious a treat as apple pie, and you can make it again and again without tiring of the taste or the task. This Crisp has a more complex spice palate than others I’ve seen… by the time it’s apple-picking season, I’m dying for these Fall spice flavors and can’t wait to bake them into something wonderful.
And if you still have piles and piles of apples, don’t forget to make our all-time favorite stand-by, Crock Pot Apple Sauce! So far, we have made two batches of apple sauce, five beautiful pies, and two batches of Apple Crisp with our haul. And there are about 35 apples left in the fruit bowl. So, yeah– we’re running low. Enjoy!!
