Apple Crisp or Apple Cobbler, which one is your favorite? We love them both but find ourselves making this classic Apple Crisp recipe a little more often than our yummy Apple Cobbler recipe.  We don’t know why. Maybe it is the buttery topping with that extra crunch from the oats. Maybe it is the perfect ratio of apples to cinnamon. Maybe it is how easy it is to make. Whatever the reason, this is the perfect comfort food and a great treat for a chilly fall or winter night.  Enjoy!
