an apple a day

apples: the go-to for dessert at christine's house lately :)

 

confession: i am terrible at cooking/baking the right proportions.

i never have too little. i always have TOO MUCH.

i mean, this has just gotten out of hand.

why in the world would i bake a 9x12" apple crisp when i live by myself.

what was i thinking???

i need help. or 12 roommates.

nonetheless! this recipe was super fab and classic.

i would have rated it 'easy breezy' except that it was actually

quite time consuming to core, peel and slice all the apples.

otherwise - super easy :)

i have made some slight modifications to the recipe below.

cutting back the water and increasing the cinnamon.

this would have been a crowd pleaser if had a lot of guests.

although looking back, i should have just stuck with

some individual apple tarts.

that project will be for next week :)

until then, enjoy!!
