Quick and Easy Apple Crisp (Gluten Free)

Good afternoon my friends, family, supporters, and passerby strangers. Thanks for visiting my humble blog today!

This apple crisp recipe may be one of the fastest and simplest desserts on my blog. It is 5 steps and very staple ingredients that most people have in their pantry. I like to describe apple crisp as a sort of upside pie. But it takes way less time to make a crisp than a pie. There is no crust, rather a granola type topping that gives the perfect crunch to a sweet and tangy recipe.

I am not going to lie, I am not a huge pie person, and I don’t love hot fruit (pineapple on pizza, apple pie, peach cobbler etc), but I decided to make this for my roommate, because she requested it. Plus it is apple season, so you know all those apples are going to taste SO good. Let me tell you, I think I converted myself. Once I made this, it was warm, topped with melty vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzle, I was like oh my gosh, this is to die for and makes me feel that Winter is on the way. I understand what the hype is about now!

I also like to make things that I don’t necessarily like to eat, because I know that everyone has different taste buds, and likes a variety of things (different strokes for different folks ;)). I also have dietary restrictions, and a lot of people don’t. So I try and cook/bake things that everyone of all ages, genders, and taste buds can eat.

Please reach out to me always, if you ever have any questions about the recipes, and I enjoy it immensely when people make my recipes, comment and rate it. Welcoming feedback is crucial to learning and growing.
