Mama’s Old Fashioned Apple Crisp

 My Old Fashioned Apple Crisp recipe is a hit with my family every time I make it, so I thought I would share.  It has a delicious apple and spice flavor and just the right amount of  ‘Crisp’.

I love to use fresh, natural ingredients, especially when I bake.

The apples came from my aunt and uncle’s orchard and the hickory nuts came from our hickory trees.  I purchased the maple syrup from a local distributor,  used pure cane sugar, and fresh squeezed lemon juice.

So, I hope you enjoy the recipe!
