Fall is the season of baking. These seasonal foods are full of exotic spices and flavors. Jenna Ruccolo shares, “Baking is a very good stress reliever. Fall is full of all kinds of fun ingredients to work with such as apples, pumpkins, and cinnamon.” Fall is the perfect time to whip up something warm and tasty.
Crisp apples are ripe and waiting to be picked. They long to be put into a delicate treat. According to PV students, apple crisp is a favorite fall dessert. The contrast of buttery, sweet granola against the soft, baked apples calls for a whirl of flavor. Nothing beats a bowl of fresh-baked apple crisp with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream. This homemade recipe is fun, quick, and easy. Celebrate fall by putting those picked apples to use!
