Momma’s Favorite Apple Crisp

If there is a season I love the most, it’s fall! I especially love apple season! When we lived in the Washington, DC area, we always would take the kids apple picking. We unfortunately don’t have that here, but I can go buy some apples and make my mom’s favorite dessert. She just came down from Tennessee so I could go on a fabulous culinary trip that I will tell you about later. For now let’s focus on the delicious apple crisp.

I have always had a sweet tooth! As good as a cake can be, I prefer fruit desserts. Crisps and pies are definitely the ones I gravitate toward the most. I do try to make traditional dishes a bit healthier. With this crisp, I cut back on the sugar, omitted the flour, and added some flaxseed meal. While my husband and I love this recipe, my mom always asks for it when she has me around. That’s okay because I always ask for her meatloaf and mashed potatoes, so we split the work.
