I’ve been making this great Apple Crunch recipe for years and just had to share it.
It’s tweaked from my first cookbook “Arrow Book of Good ‘n’ Easy Cooking” that I picked up at my fourth grade book fair many years ago. It has several good recipes that I’ve tweaked and spiced up over the years.
We start out making our topping and setting aside, saving the apple prep for last to prevent any browning. The lemon juice will also help with that.
Enjoy.

Recipe Rating: 5 / 5
Such a nice dessert to heat up in the microwave and top with some vanilla ice cream. Pie a la mode comes to mind but there’s so much more with the crumbles. The crisp crunch top with the crumbles as it falls apart, makes the whole thing heavenly.
