An Apple A Day




















Dear Chase:


You know the old saying Chase....."An apple a day keeps the doctor away". I am not a big fan of apples but I will agree they are very healthy and very important to a proper and well-balanced diet. I find other creative ways to eat this staple fruit and that usually entails baking of some sort. We are having an early family dinner for this week in honor of your auntie Monica, who is in town for the weekend. This was also and good time to get together with the rest of the extended family. As busy as we all are in our day to day lives, we do feel it is important to get together, touch base and just see one another as much as time will allow. I normally make some sort of dessert to contribute to the dinner menu and this time is no different. I decided to make a super yummy and light dessert to temp the palette and satisfy every bodies sweet tooth. The comfort desserts of all comfort desserts...the apple crisp. It is a great alternative to an apple pie but still just as flavorful and decadent. This apple crisp is full of hearty apples, a mix of varies spices and a crunchy oatmeal crumble to top it off.
