A Nice Apple Crisp Recipe

It's that time of year - I'm obsessed with apples. The honeycrisps are at the store (and ready for picking in Wisconsin), we went apple picking, I patched an apple on Aidan's first day of school shirt, and I've made two apple themed desserts lately.

The first of the recipes was a delicious apple crisp based on a recipe on allrecipes.com. 

Below is the recipe. I basically doubled the crisp portion and used a smaller pan.  I can't say I used 4 cups of apples - I just used what was on hand and looked good.  It was delicious!
