We turned the oven on in addition to baked something that reminded us of fall! :) Well, that in addition to I had purchased a large handbag of reduced cost apples at the outset of the week, in addition to they needed to endure used earlier they works life themselves inwards the trash.

Actually, this crisp reminds us of to a greater extent than than merely fall. It brings dorsum memories of college in addition to grad schoolhouse where my hubby (then boyfriend) in addition to I ate this a lot. As inwards breakfast, lunch, in addition to dinner. Don't judge.

You see, at that spot is exclusively thus much cafeteria nutrient that your tum tin give the axe handle. Some of us less than others. The 3 staples that I relied on were oatmeal, peanut butter, in addition to apples. Among my roommates in addition to I, you lot could ordinarily detect wheat flour, sugar/sugar substitute, in addition to butter/spread. Thus, the apple-peanut butter crisp was born.

This recipe went through many variations depending upon what was on hand. No butter? Throw inwards to a greater extent than peanut butter. No flour? Use all oats. You larn the idea. It provided our protein, vitamins, in addition to complex carbs inwards i dish (oh, in addition to you lot could larn inwards in a toaster oven!) in addition to that was to a greater extent than than could endure said for a lot of the meals at the cafeteria!

I honey peanut butter in addition to apples in addition to peanut butter amongst oats, thus this combination was exclusively logical inwards my mind! :) Though no longer inwards schoolhouse (yay!), this recipe has remained a staple that is eaten all yr long. The fact that it reminds us of cool conditions doesn't hurt, either!
