Apple Crisp for Fall<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So last weekend my family went apple picking.\u00a0 It was 30 degrees Celcius out and not feeling crisp and fall-like but it was still super fun and we got a giant bag of apples out of it, got outside and had some fresh air and family time…<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 Typical Family Portrait<\/p>\n

Apple picking is one of my favourite fall activities and I tend to pick too many apples every time we go.\u00a0 This usually means I make a ton of apple inspired recipes – this year the first of which was my Moms apple crisp.<\/p>\n

I actually adapted a recipe found online because I couldn’t find Moms actual recipe but my sister had some and said it was just like my Moms.<\/p>\n

A funny Apple Crisp Story<\/h2>\n

This story is one of family Legend…. I share it here because it makes me smile and think of my Mom, who was a wonderful Mom and person – you would all have loved her.<\/p>\n

Mom loved to make Apple Crisp in the fall.\u00a0 She made it for Thanksgiving every year and in giant quantities for the 23-26 family peeps who came over to our house every year for Thanksgiving.\u00a0 People loved it. People looked forward to it.\u00a0 It was a recipe that she could probably make from memory.<\/p>\n

This particular time she was really just making it for my immediate family I think: my Dad, my sister and me.<\/p>\n

Cut to the evil villain in the story:\u00a0 Salt<\/p>\n

More particularly Salt and Sugar in very similar containers…<\/p>\n

you can see where this is going right?\u00a0\u00a0 The recipe calls for about 1 cup of white sugar along with cinnamon and flour to be mixed together then coat the apple slices…. this is approximately what our white sugar container looked like:<\/p>\n

(actually it is exactly this – I can’t believe I found it on the Google!)<\/p>\n

Guess what the salt one looked like:<\/p>\n

you bet:<\/p>\n

(only a bit smaller)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So Mom proceeded to make the whole apple crisp and guess what…. yup – salt instead of sugar and a whole batch in the garbage.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I told my sister I was making apple crisp (but not with salt) via text and she smiled fondly, laughed and texted back that she was coming over for a taste… sometimes an annoying mistake can be remembered very fondly even 20-30 years later and is better than a perfect batch anyways.<\/p>\n
