Today was a gorgeous day.. we spent a huge chunk of it outdoors cleaning up the backyard. I started taking a few picture to show the process.. but it turned more into a photo shoot for the dogs.
Over the past couple weeks, we can really tell that seasons are changing. It's getting cold ( but not really, we want more California weather)! Leaves are starting to change and fall to the ground. The air has a fall smell to it... like crispy leaves. I made homemade apple crisp a couple days ago.. it was incredible!
Apple Crisp
5 cups peeled, sliced cooking apples
2-4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup regular rolled oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon (freshly) ground nutmeg (or cinnamon) plus 1 teaspoon
1/4 cup butter/margarine
1/4 cup chopped nuts or coconut
.... and of course, ice cream
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Place fruit in 2-quart square baking dish. Stir in sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon/nutmeg.
2. For topping, combine oats, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon/nutmeg. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in nuts or coconut. Sprinkle topping over filling.
3. Bake for 30-35 minutes until fruit is tender and topping is golden.
