Every year since I was an itty bitty my mum and I would go to the orchard in the fall. Miller's Big Red has a fabulous orchard with many varieties of apples you can pick your own or buy already picked bags. You can also get any other apple treat imaginable or cider and donuts. It's not fall unless you spend an hour at the orchard on a brisk day filling your bag with amazing Michigan apples! My favorite kind of apple is the "Honey Crisp" this year it has been hard to come by though.

{heaven!}
and what do you do with some of the apples that have been picked? Make apple crisp of course!!!
I started by peeling and chopping five apples. (I used honey crisp, jonamac and ida red)
*Note: to keep from browning I added a squirt of lemon juice.
I combined the chopped apples with a couple dashed of cinnamon, a couple tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of flour. Then I mixed well.
I spooned the mixture into my glass baking dish.
Next I combined two parts each of Quaker Old Fashioned Oats and brown sugar, with one part each of flour and butter. I mixed well with a spoon until the mixture was crumbly, and then topped the apples.
Note: my family cooks like Paula Dean, because of this mine is extremely unhealthy.
One stick of butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 cup oats. You get the picture.
30 minutes at 375.... and you have an amazing dessert!
What is your favorite apple recipe?!
