Apple Crisp

     It is my favorite time of year to do some serious baking!  Especially with apples!  Two weekends ago, my hubby and I went to Carter's Mountain with some friends of ours.  Carter's Mountain is located in Charlottesville, VA and it is the best apple orchard.  Austin and I have gone a few times and we have always enjoyed ourselves.  This year we unfortunately chose the rainiest day to go.  It was so muddy, we decided to leave the apple picking to the experts and bought apples that were pre-picked.  From the people we saw coming back with their apples, I was convinced there was no way I was going to pick my own.  Everyone was covered in mud! 

     We enjoyed some apple cider and hot, fresh apple cider doughnuts.  We also ended up with two huge bags of Jonagold  apples.  This is definitely our favorite type of apple.  They taste great and they are perfect to bake with.

     I ended up making apple crisp as well as some apple sauce.  I loved how they turned out!  I thought I would share this delicious recipe for apple crisp today.  My mother-in-law shared her wonderful recipe with me.  It happens to be one of my hubby's  favorite recipe.
