we went apple picking on saturday and came back home with an abundance of freshly picked apples. apple picking is definitely one of my favorite things about autumn. baking apple crisp was a natural choice to use up the 30 pounds of apples we have in our fridge. with six tests coming up this week (ugh) i wasn’t allowed to bake, so my mom made this for us last night. i helped preheat the oven though and i certainly helped eat it! as with most desserts around here, it barely lasted a day in our house. i’ve been helping my mom make apple crisp for as long as i can remember and it is always a classic.
