happy fall!

I bought 4 apples the other day.  I wanted to make apple crisp but did not make the time.  One apple had been eaten.  Now I had 3.  There were still enough because they were big, green tart apples.  Those are the best for this dish.  Yes, apple crisp has been on my mind.

When I was younger, my Grandma Latscher would always bring my sister and I up to the apple festival in Wisconsin.  It was a lot of fun.  There were apples everywhere.  Apples in everything and it smelled so sweet.  We would taste as many treats as Grandma would allow.  I remember the caramel apples.  Those were my favorite.

Apples!  It is what I think of when fall arrives... fresh, crisp apples that crunch in your mouth and the juice that sometimes spills out.  I love it!  Yum.  Then there is apple crisp.  It is not the crunch like the raw apple that I like, but the soft, smooth, sweet and delicious apples with the crunchy-sweet crisp topping.  Now it was time.

This is what I made today!

He couldn't wait for it to be done.  It's been almost a year since I made this last.  

I served him a bowl and he could hardly wait to dig in. 

After the ice cream sat atop the warm apple crisp, it melted.

It was delicious.

Happy Fall!!

P.S.  I use the Betty Crocker recipe & double the crisp topping.
