Growing up I have always loved to bake. There was just something about watching people enjoy dessert with a smile on there face that made me happy. I even thought one day I might grow up to be a baker as I took some baking classes. Alas, that career path wasn’t really my calling but I do so love to still bake desserts.
There is one recipe, that I’ve made since I was about 15 years old and perfected and that is my signature apple crisp. People know that this time of year they can expect to enjoy it at some point. The crumble and granny smith apple combination are what really makes this a winning and well balanced recipe. Not to sweet and not to tart.
With Christmas dinner around the corner, I thought I’d share the recipe just in case you want to serve up something new for dessert this year at Christmas dinner.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350
