So sweet, savory and tart… this delicious (and easy!) Apple Crisp Recipe is the perfect fall dessert!

Whew! Now that I’ve finally gotten mostly everything cleaned up at my house from hurricane Florence… here comes Michael. He’s supposed to pay us a little visit today on the coast of NC, so I figured I’d better hurry up and make this apple crisp!

The past few weeks have been humbling and I’ve realized that out of everything, eating good food is one of our very few basic joys of life. Comfort food has been very much needed and this apple dessert was much welcomed! I’m very fortunate to say the least and am thankful. Right now my heart aches for Florida and many prayers sent up for those affected.

This apple crisp is nothing short of mouthwatering delicious. The topping is sweet, buttery and crispy. It was all I could do not to devour it while photographing. Make it even more spectacular with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. Enjoy!
