My friend Heather moved a year or so ago from the big city to a fab little house about an hour away. I don’t get to see her as much as I used to, and am ashamed to admit that yesterday was the first I had seen her new digs. She has a great view, loads of land to grow stuff on, and a snow apple tree. She braved the spiders and creepy crawled to harvest these little guys and sent us home with a huge bag. These little apples average a little larger than a ping pong ball and are delish.
Since they are so small, peeling and coring can be a challenge, but I think they are perfect for a batch of apple crisp. I quartered them (with a little help from the husband), cleaned the seeds and added them to my baking pan.
Apple crisp is a great dessert that doesn’t have a ton of sugar but is still a sweet treat. It definitely doesn’t last long around here.
