Recipe: Cinnamon Maple Apple Crisp

We’ve been having fun with apples at our house this season.  Boxes of organic apples picked from a friend’s tree have been made into applesauce, dehydrated apples, and apple cider.  We’ve eaten plenty of crisp, fresh apples for snacks.  And finally, after almost all of the four boxes of apples had been dried, canned or eaten, we decided to celebrate with an apple dessert!  Apple crisp flavored with warm cinnamon and a hint of maple goes great under a scoop of ice cream.  What a sweet way to celebrate the season!

The topping is simple:  Organic oats, raw butter, cane sugar and spice and a touch of maple syrup. Sprinkle right on top of the apples and pop it in the oven!

That’s all there is to it…a quick and easy, healthy treat.  Somebody get the ice cream while it’s still hot!
