Old Fashioned Apple Crisp

This Old Fashioned Apple Crisp recipe is definitely the best of the best.  Sweet slightly spiced apples topped with an amazing crumble – just like your Grandma always made! 

I have a confession to make, and I’m not sure how to say this.

I don’t know what is currently taught in school these days.  Is home economics still a thing they teach in school? 

You know, that class where we all learned to sew, cook, iron and all the basic skills needed to survive on your own.  If you don’t mind drinking tang and eating hotdogs rolled in crescent rolls that is I guess.

Actually I kind of loved that class because you got to eat or keep whatever you made.

Anyway, back to the confession,  one of the dishes we learned to make was Apple Crisp and it was a completely new concept to me.  Seriously.

You see, I come from a long line of traditional pie eaters so apple crisp had been completely off the radar.  Boy, was I ever missing something.  Apple Crisp is like Apple Pie’s lazy but slightly more fun cousin.

Also, fruit and oats.. sounds like breakfast. Am I right?

Yum.
