APPLE BERRY CRISP

Warm and comforting, this apple berry crisp combines the best of both worlds; apples and delicious fall spices, and berries bursting with sweetness.  This is a family favorite for sure!

Luke and I recently took the kiddos apple picking, which was SO much fun!  The farm we visited had apple trees that had really low branches that the kids could pick apples from themselves, which was awesome.  We ended up with 20 pounds of apples, which is amazing until we got home and I realized that I had to make plans to use 20 pounds of apples.  Which was exactly the moment I decided to make apple crisp.

The first time I tried apple crisp was in college (a travesty, I know!).  My friend Jill made it for me, and it was magical!  I have made her recipe every fall since then, and to me, nothing says fall like apple crisp.  This year, I had some extra frozen berries leftover from summer, and I tried throwing them in the mix.  Best. decision. ever.  This apple crisp was devoured in record time!!!

I like to leave the peels on the apples for a bit more nutrition, and I threw in some not-so-common spices (allspice and cardamom) just to mix things up a bit.  Overall, this recipe was a huge success.  I will definitely be making it again!  I hope you’re able to try it. 🙂

*The amount of sugar you need depends on the type of apple you use. Taste your apples to determine if they are sweet (or not), and adjust the amount of sugar accordingly. The apples I used were NOT sweet.
