This week is my first week back to college! I’m a second semester senior with one class left!
To be completely honest senioritis is setting in big time especially since I’m currently taking my math requirement.
When I first saw my finite math textbook I was pretty happy. I knew everything in Chapters 1-6 because I’d been learning it since high school. It wouldn’t be easy, but it would be do-able.
Except we started on Chapter 8. (Now hiring math tutor, will pay with cookies,JK
So naturally instead of working on math homework, I decided to bake something. Apples are coming into season so it’s the perfect time to try my Simple Apple Crisp Recipe.
If you aren’t a fan of oats you’ll be pleased that they’re not included in my simple apple crisp recipe. However, the topping is still super crunchy. nomnomnom

- Mix vanilla and apple juice. Pour over apple mixture.
- Mix flour and sugar in a small bowl. Grate butter using a flat grater over this bowl. Mix together with a pastry cutter or 2 forks until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Simple Apple Crisp Recipe Variations:
Add oats or walnuts to the topping for an even crunchier texture.
Use whatever fruit is in season. Pears or peaches would also be great here.

Obviously apple crisp wins over math! Plus, simple and tasty wins any day. 🙂
I like how you think. Obviously 🙂

Apple crisp that perfect sweet treat fix, especially if you have apples lying around the house. Love the addition of the apple juice for an extra apple punch. 🙂
Thank you Krista! It helps keep everything moist and juicy as well.
This would be perfect to have warm out of the oven on these cold winter days! Have a great weekend!
With a dollop of ice cream too maybe?
Thanks Becky you too!
