I was having company for lunch and needed a simple dessert. In trying to decide what to make I saw that I had some apples and this apple crisp recipe turned out to be the perfect ending to a lovely meal. I adapted the recipe from Baking by Dorie Greenspan. It would be a great way to use frozen apples.

How Was the Apple Crisp?
Do you have to ask? It was Fall on a dessert plate. The apples still had some chew to them and were in a cinnamon-y, sugary sauce and then there was the oatmeal topping. All of it was just yum, yum, yum.
You can check out yesterday’s post to see a bunch of other apple recipes to celebrate this fruit of Autumn.
