Apple Crisp Recipe

8 Comments

There is nothing more of a comfort food to me than apple crisp (I share my reasons below). This is my own Apple Crisp Recipe – which I created with my daughter – and we have built a tradition of making it together. It is a kid-friendly recipe; encouraging kids to get in the kitchen and then taste the goodness of their hard work. And it’s delish!…

Apple Crisp Recipe

So why do I love apple crisp so much?! The evening I gave birth to my 1st child – my Mom brought me a dish (not just a serving – a whole dish!) of apple crisp to comfort me during my recoup and give me energy for my newborn. I admit: I ate the whole dish of apple crisp that night (if you are up every 3 hours with a newborn – snacks are required). Ever since…apple crisp warms my heart because it makes me think of my Mom…and my baby.

 Tips for baking apple crisp with kids…

  • Older kids can peel and slice apples
  • Older kids can measure ingredients
  • Younger kids can mix ingredients
  • Younger kids can pat the flour/oat mixture

When baking – younger kids need to stay away from sharp objects like peelers and knives. However, be sure to include them in the more age appropriate baking tasks.

Baking with kids helps to develop reading skills, math skills (fractions in measurements), hand/eye coordination…plus it is a great way to spend time as a family. Baking with my kids?! Big weekly tradition in my house. Highly recommend it as a food idea and kid activity!

Aveeno Active Naturals

Oats are my comfort. Inside my body (in form of Apple Crisp) and outside when I use Aveeno  Active Naturals on my skin. My whole family trusts Aveeno Active Naturals products (from the Aveeno Baby products we use with my son to the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash the big kids use in the shower to the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion which I use every morning).
