I'm a Little Late to My Apple Crisp, Vanilla Ice Cream October Treat, but the Apples Finally Yelled, "Crandall! Enough Already," So I Cooked

Easiest recipe there is. Hardest part is peeling the apples and getting them ready.

I used to make crisp all the time with blueberries in southern Indiana picked from Bryant's farm, but in the northeast you go with apples, because they're much more abundant. Peel them, coat them with cinnamon, pumpkin spice, walnuts, and a little nutmeg, cover them with yellow cake, and spring with butter. Bake at 350 for 45-minutes and Wola! You only need a dish of vanilla ice cream to go with it. 

And you have dinner. Well, Crandall had dinner and it was worth the labor and wait. Hot out of the oven is best (but reheating it works, too, although I plan to drop off the rest to friends so I don't make myself sick from eating too much of it.

Not a bad way to end a Friday. I should also say I had the famous chicken, pesto, arugula, prosciutto ham, mozzarella sandwich on grilled panini bread for lunch. 

A happy stomach to end a hellish week, indeed. 

Now, for the grading. I have lots of projects to end this week, and preparation for NCTE is the top priority (driving to Columbus rather that flying is going to be a new challenge for the conference season (so looking forward to Boston next year as Amtrak is always the best way to travel.

Now for morning coffee and the day begins (and some oatmeal, although I'm getting tired of the morning ritual and would much rather have an omelet and home fries, but morning and I don't get along too well, so that won't happy. 

Enjoy your Saturday.
