Honey!
This was sooo delicious!! Turned out so great, we put whipped cream on top! Such a light alternative to a heavy, sugary apple crisp, without sacrificing flavour!! Thanks so much for this ❤️!
Turned out good and I like that it is GF and used Maple Syrup! In one place it says cook for 7 mins and in another it says 5.
Thanks for catching the typo! It’s 5 minutes, I updated the page.
