Apple Crisp
We’ve had a great crop of apples from our apple trees this year, so it’s been nice to have extra apples readily available to do all sorts of cooking and baking!
Usually Rick loves and prefers anything chocolate, but this is one exception! Apple crisp has been a favorite now for many years. He loves to eat it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
So, since it is apple season, what better better time than now to share this delicious, homemade recipe with you…..
- 4 cups sliced apples (approx 4-5 large apples)
- 1/ 1/3 c. Brown sugar
- 1 c. flour
- 1 c. oats
- 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 2/3 c. butter, softened

Now, here’s a new favorite recipe in our house!
We have several in the family cutting back on, or cutting out, sugar for the time being. But, sometimes you just need a little something for that sweet tooth!

And even better, it’s super easy to whip up too!
- 2/3 c. melted coconut oil
- 2/3 c. cocoa- I use dark chocolate cocoa (such as Hershey’s ‘Special Dark Cocoa”)
- dash of salt
- splash of vanilla
- 1/4 c. honey
