This is a great fall recipe. It is a huge hit at my house and great comfort food. I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine does.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Apple crisps are one of our favorite apple desserts because they're so easy to make. The apples themselves are sweet and filled with cinnamon flavor. On top, there's a classic topping of oats, margarine, brown sugar, and cinnamon. But, this apple crisp recipe also adds vanilla wafers. There's a bit of crunch and vanilla flavor from them we enjoyed. Dollop with Cool Whip for a comforting dessert.
