I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about this apple crisp recipe when I first read about it – mostly because there is no butter or no sugar in it. But I thought, “Hey! I have a TON of apples, so I may as well give it a shot.”
Well let me tell you, I am pleasantly surprised by what I pulled out of the oven last night! So here, as promised, is the recipe.
