Simple Apple Crisp
I grew up in an apple orchard, where we not only enjoyed the delicious taste of apples but also reaped the benefits of their nutritional value. Apples, known for their numerous health benefits, were a staple in our kitchen. From apple cake, apple spice muffins, apple tart, apple galette, apple pie, apple blueberry crisp, and the list goes on. My Simple Apple Crisp is a new twist on a traditional favorite. It’s easy to make and simply delicious!
