Apple Crisp



The moment the leaves begin to change colors, I know that autumn is upon us, and more importantly, the apples are ripe and ready. Late summer and early autumn is my favorite time of the year specifically because I can eat a lot of apple crisp, and I mean a lot of it. The recipe below is from my mom, and is a recipe upon which I grew up eating almost daily in August and September. It is so good, I would eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and snacks in between those meals. I follow the recipe exactly as it is written, and it turns out perfect each time!
The first photo below is the apple crisp that I prepared, and is what it should look like before going into the oven. The second photo below is my mother's apple crisp straight out of the oven.
