From the author: It’s autumn, so apple crisp is a mandatory dish for me … at least once a week. This is a quick and easy one to prepare, and after an hour in the oven, you have not only made a tasty dessert, but you also filled your home with a great aroma. Feel free to use your favorite apple – I really like tart apples and almost always use Granny Smiths. I also like to mix in the cranberries, but you could substitute in raisins, pears, or other fall fruits.
