I know it’s not fall but it is never the wrong time of year for an apple crisp!
It’s been raining like crazy here in Philadelphia and it’s unseasonably cool for late May. This weather puts me in the mood for comfort food and nothing says comfort like a warm, apple dessert. Warm apples tossed with cinnamon and sugar, a buttery, crisp graham cracker crust, and cold ice cream slowly melting over the top. I took this dessert to a friends house for lunch and everyones reaction to their first bite was the same- the table got really quiet, everyone smiled, and then we all sank a little deeper into our chairs. Then came the first comment, “this is SO good!” Yep, that pretty much sums up an apple crisp. SO GOOD.
