Every day when the kids come home from school, they see the enormous basket of apples sitting on the counter, and ask, "When are we going to make apple crisp?". I say, "Soon."
Well, yesterday we finally made it! I was hoping to make my Mom's recipe. But, she was at work & I knew she wouldn't have it on her. Once the ball was rolling on this project, there was no stopping it. So, I went to my trusty Ina cookbooks & found one there.
