All about Apples for Autumn:: Apple Crisp

Apple season is here, and that means it's time for apple anything and everything. I love anything apple, but baked apples are the my favorite in the fall. In Atlanta, we have access to amazing apples from north Georgia, and since apples are at their best during autumn, I try to use them as much as possible.Full disclosure: I love this apple crisp dish for breakfast with a frothy cappuccino. It's simply divine as an early morning treat! Another option is to serve it as an easy and quick last minute dessert with vanilla bean ice cream. Either way, just make sure you add this recipe to your must-bake list this fall.
