It’s fall and while everyone is excited for pumpkin-flavored foods and Pumpkin Spice Lattes, I’m over here eating anything with apples or flavored with apples!
I mean why doesn’t Starbucks have an Apple Spice latte or an Apple Crisp Latte? I would totally be all over that!
Okay, okay, while I do love some pumpkin flavored things, this year I am totally into baking with apples. A few weeks ago I made a warm apple pie bread with cinnamon and it was absolutely divine! I paired it with vanilla ice cream and it was such a warm, wonderful treat.
Fall Apple Crisp Recipe
One of the best things I’ve learned is that October is National Apple Month! A whole month dedicated to juicy apples and the things we can make with them. Because of that, Sparkling Ice, a sparkling water company, asked me to share a dessert made with their Crisp Apple sparkling water.
This Crisp Apple drink is sure to make any fall treat you plan on baking, have a fresh-off-the-tree flavor, with a bit of sparkling kick!
For this particular apple crisp recipe, sparkling ice is the secret ingredient to a perfect fall flavor that friends and family will be sure to enjoy.
With Delicious Gala apples, warm buttery goodness, and a bit of cinnamon and brown sugar, you can almost taste the flavor from these pictures!
This dish would be great to bring to the table for an after-Thanksgiving dessert or to a fall festival or party. Pair it with vanilla ice cream and you will have the perfect, delicious combo!
