Cookdap Community Tips and Praise

“So delicious and easy to make,” according to Dana Ward-Haven. “We topped it off with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and caramel sauce.”

"Best apple crisp I've ever had," raves one Cookdap community member. "The topping is especially delicious! The only change I make is using 1/2 cup quick oats and 1/2 cup old fashioned oats just to give it a little more texture."

“It was a breeze to make,” says Brian Lunsford. “Everything turned out perfect. I didn’t have a glass dish so I used a non-stick 13?9 and added about 5 minutes.”
