If we could combine everything that we love about fall in one day, it would consist of sitting by a warm fire as we breathe in the crisp air, overlooking a picture-perfect landscape of reds, yellows, and oranges, and casually sipping on our favorite autumn drink… oh, and nibbling on the World’s Best Apple Crisp. As part of our ideal day, we would go to a cute, little farm, pick the shiniest apples, and come home to make this gooey, cinnamon-y, and crumbly concoction that tastes just divine with a scoop of ice cream. Gosh, what a day that would be. Get a little taste of it by making the World’s Best Apple Crisp! It’ll have you feeling very “grate-fall!”
