Happy Fall - Easy Apple Crisp

Baker babe is on a (semi) diet this week in preparation for Thanksgiving so here is something I did earlier this Fall. Enjoy !

Ok, along with pumpkin flavored bakery items I also can never wait for apple session to arrive. This year I took my son picking for the first time and it was great fun (although now that I think about it he wasn’t much help). Unfortunately and Fortunately when you pick apples you have to buy like a 15 lb bag which is A LOT of apples in a family of 1 ½ apple eaters (Me and my son. You should know that my husband is anti-vegetarian – No fruits or vegetables. I am slowly working on correcting this.) So back in the kitchen I am always looking for new ways to bake these up. This week I will share one of my standard recipes. I love this because I always seem to have the ingredients on hand and you can change the amount to be a big dish (for company) or small. My friend Rebecca gave this to me – so thanks Rebecca! Plus you can whip it up ahead of time and then bake it during dinner so it fits my multi-tasking personality.
