I received an abundance of granny smith apples from one of my co-workers, and while I love fruit, I am not so fond of sour apples. I couldn't let this generous gift go to waste so I scoured the interwebs and found this recipe for Apple Crisp. Double the crumb topping and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and I'm sure one could satisfy even the pickiest of palates!
