‘Tis the season for apples!
Truth: apples are my favorite. As in my most favorite fruit. I try like the dickens to not over use the word ‘favorite’ because I do love a lot of thing, but an apple holds a very special place in my heart.
My Grandpa Ray used to eat an apple a day. As a little girl I was mystified by this action. Who eats an apple a day? I mean I know the whole saying, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” but guess what? I guess the old balls saying was right. My grandfather lived until he was 93 with no major health problems. He was actually mowing his lawn until he was 89 years young. #applepower
After he passed, I decided to pick up his healthy habit. It wasn’t so much a reason for eating something that was naturally good for you and full of fiber, but more as a way to stay connected. Each crunch reminds me of his genuine smile, his stories of meeting Babe Ruth, and his attempt at driving a car at the age of 12. I still miss him dearly, but find comfort knowing that I plan on mowing my lawn when I am 89.
Anyway, to celebrate this apple frenzy, I figured we should make something with apples. I am a super snob when it comes to deciding what apples to eat and what apples to bake with. Honey-crisp are by far the most superior (even if they are genetically made in some secret slab in Ohio) when it comes to noshing on apples.
But in the baking world, Granny Smiths rule. I used a few of these gems when making this Apple Bourbon Oatmeal Cookie Crisp with Melted Nut Butter. This crisp is dangerously easy to make. Toss everything in a bowl, spread evenly into a baking dish, and bake. If you aren’t an apple or fruit dessert fan, I will have you converted. Because remember, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
Conclusion: “Treat yourself to the indulgent Apple Bourbon Oatmeal Cookie Crisp with Melted Nut Butter, a comforting dessert that satisfies every craving.”
