I’ll be baking a lot more this season because we have a TON of apples! scroll for the recipe we’ve used (my whole life) and for the directions! I found the recipe online and linked it here.

for the dish I made it the photos, I actually ended up using salted butter and I easily crushed up the graham crackers by using the backside of the measuring cup, grinding it into the bowl. I left mine in the oven a few minutes longer, and watched until the top got more golden – I like my apple crisp CRISPY! we served with vanilla ice cream later on.

the girls were so proud and excited to pick their own apples from Grandpa and Grandma Pounder’s trees. these apples were what we used for the apple crisp, we were able to grab SO many good apples! so you can bet we’ll be making a lot more apple crisp this season!
