APPLE CRISP

I love a warm, gooey, apple crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.  It is a fantastic dessert for fall or winter.  With cinnamon and oats and apples it is almost a healthy food! 🙂 And if it’s not healthy, what a way to go!

The hardest part of this is peeling and slicing the apples.  It is a very easy recipe to make and absolutely a must in this winter season.  Give this one a try as it is easy and oh so good. 

Apple Crisp is one of those things I have to have at least once in the Fall or Winter of every year.  It is warm, and with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is so good.

⅓ Cup Old Fashioned Oats

⅔ Cups Brown Sugar, packed
