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!
