This is one awesome way to have that doctor recommended apple a day. Pack on the apples and crisp them up for an old-fashioned dessert that will never go out of style. For die-hard apple fans like my wife, this apple crisp is phenomenal. Add a little sparkle to old-fashioned with the addition of a late harvest Sauvignon Blanc or a Canadian Ice Wine.
