Apple Crisp

With Thanksgiving around the corner this is a classic fall dessert and one you can make instead of an intimidating apple pie. I find fruit crisps are a lot easier to make than pies and are a great way to use fresh fruit that is in season. This one is for apples but I have made cranberry, blueberry and peach crisps as well. You get all of the flavors of apple pie filling but with the added bonus of a crunchy topping, which is the best part! Hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
