apple crisp.

The perks of the job.... A vendor we deal with on a daily basis came by and brought us a full bag of fresh red apples! Now, at first, I was like apples??? Hmmm... But after some thought, I think it I am going to definitely take advantage of thoughtful gift and make something delicious with these yummy smelling apples! Below is the recipe I am going to try! I will let you know how it turns out!

Apple Crisp

Crisp? Crumble? Well, whatever you like to call it, it's better than apple pie. I am not a big fan on apple pie  but I think this recipe sounds amazing! Oh, just think, serving it up warm and joined with a giant helping of good old fashion vanilla ice cream... Heaven??? I think, yes! Yum! Let me know what you think?

6-8 apples, peeled, cored, and diced

2. Mix oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl. Dice the cold butter into cubes and mix in with your fingers until it forms moist clumps.
