Apple crisp


I'm sure you could have guessed this, but the trip to the apple orchard resulted in a bag of apples that was definitely a bit too big for two people to finish on their own. Thinking ahead to the excitement I would have on my fifth day with an apple in my lunch, I decided to use up some of the sweet Golden Delicious right away and make a crisp. I like to bake, but when it comes to pies, tarts, or anything that involves a crust that needs to be made ahead of time, I quickly give up and choose not to feel defeated in the kitchen. Therefore, a crumble recipe is my answer to fruit dessert. Sliced apples coated in sugar and cinnamon are topped with a crumb mix of butter, brown sugar, flour, and oats. Mixed easily with my hands and sprinkled on top and within 45 minutes my kitchen smelled like a spiced home worthy of any fancy pie.

  5. I have the fondest memories of apple crumble - it was the one thing my primary school cafeteria made really, really well. This is beautiful autumnal food inspiration (not that I'd confine it to autumn!)

    Thanks for stopping by The Spring today!
