Simple Apple Crisp Recipe
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

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.
Sounds like a nice quick sweet fix 🙂
Good Luck with your classes, your crisp looks yummy!
Thanks x 2 Nettie!
Apple crisp is one of my favourite desserts, because it's so easy, but it's SO delicious.
the smell of apples cooking is so comforting to me!
Ew math. I took my math requirement online. WORSE MISTAKE EVER. I did pass, with a B, though... So, I can't complain too much. I bumped it up a notch and am taking 4, instead of 3, college classes this semester. First week is almost over, and I'm already counting the days until Summer. I don't know why though, because I'll probably do a summer internship or a summer class.
I am a sucker for those kinda deserts...so yumm!!!
I think baking is the perfect distraction to studies! And, I love apple crisp - so this works for me too! It looks fantastic!
I love how easy this recipe is! 😀 So good for when you're craving something sweet!
YUM! I adore apple crisp and love that this is so easy!
Yay, just one more class! My last resort is always going into the kitchen to bake something. Don't you find it so relaxing and stress free? All more fun than studying! Have a great and exciting weekend, Krystle!
