Apple Crisp

Autumn is such a wonderful time of year. A crisp wind blowing on a sunny afternoon while colourful leaves dance from the trees. Apple picking is also a fun activity that fall brings. I can't remember the last time I went. I'm sure I was a little girl when I last spent the afternoon in the orchards with my family finding that perfect apple. So, to relive my youth I took a special someone to pick apples with me, and after we made a delicious apple crisp.
