Notes
VARIETY OF APPLES: I suggest using at least half Granny Smith apples in this recipe. I combined Granny Smith and Golden Delicious, but you can use your favorite variety.PREPARING APPLES: You do not have to peel the apples if you prefer the peels on. It will add a little extra texture to the final dish.STORAGE: Store the leftover apple crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
