The Year I Baked: Apple Crisp

I have always considered myself a baker. For as long as I could remember, I have either been helping my mom or grandmother bake up delicious treats or heating up my own oven to create gooey brownies, deliciously frosted cupcakes or chocolatey chip cookies to share with family and friends. Now that I am a wife to a very hungry farmer, I find myself baking more and more but realized that my skills have only been perfected when it comes to cookies, cakes, brownies or cupcakes and I've come to the realization that I'd like to be challenged more to see what I could really do.

With that said, I am excited to introduce to you a new project for my blog entitled

"The Year I Baked"

I have begun making a list of all kinds of goodies I have never made before and am challenging myself to create  & record this year and share with you all my successes {and failures}, here on my blog. My first challenge? Something easy... Apple Crisp!! I made it last night and found out it is a favorite of my hubby's! Needless to say, he was a very happy man at dinner last night ;)

To begin, slice up your apples

Mix all your dry ingredients together..

Place your apples on the bottom of a baking dish {I added a teaspoon of sugar on top, just to sweeten the deal}

Then cover with the dry ingredients and bake to perfection

Serve with half & half or vanilla ice cream and ENJOY!!

Just the smell of this baking in our oven last night was enough to make me want to pull it out and eat it all with a fork...it was that delicious. If you are craving something flavorful and sweet, this recipe is for you!! Enjoy!!
