My kids went to Chudleigh's Apple Farm for a school visit and brought back close to a dozen beautiful cortland apples, which I personally like baking with for its tart, slightly sweet flavour... I think an apple crisp is in order. I love how I was able to make this quickly after dinner on a whim with all the ingredients I had on hand. Baked in a 8 x 8 pan, it serves my family of five perfectly. Double the ingredients to make in a 9 x 13 and take it to a potluck or entertain guests as an after dinner dessert served naked or à la mode with vanilla ice cream...

| Apple crisp... I have my eyes on you... |
But seriously it's so aromatic with the mingling of sweet warm spices and apple, the best thing ever is standing or hunched over the slightly cooled dessert on the kitchen counter and eating straight out of the pan... YUM!
