Chocolate may be my first love, but sometimes there is nothing better than an amazing apple crisp. To me there is one main factor that contributes to the affectionate title “perfect” mentioned above, and that is the crisp/apple ratio. I mean, the “crisp” is a pretty critical component, am I right? This crisp is the bomb. Oh, and to those who are wondering, we eat ours with Tillamook vanilla bean ice cream. Mmmm.

Not too much to it right?? I always make this recipe when we have company over, because it makes a ton, and we definitely shouldn’t be left alone with the whole pan unsupervised! So, this last time we invited over my cute grandparents to share it with us. We are so lucky to live so close to them, and we always have so much fun hanging out with them. Here’s a pic for your enjoyment :). 
Aren’t they the cutest things? Speaking of cute grandparents, the cute white dishes pictured above are from Bryce’s Grandma, aren’t they so sweet? They are my new favorites for sure!
Anyway, hope you all have a lovely day and enjoy your yummy crisps!
