I also feel very lucky to have a Kenan, and, of course, a Cate! Looks like an amazingly lovely dessert.
Miss you guys!

That was just lovely, Cate. Just freaking lovely. Even when I see your posts first thing in the morning, I save them for the end of the day because they’re so nice to read, not to mention look at. And I just might have to pick up some apples on my way home… (And I’m even MORE sad now that I missed the birthday festivities!!)

You sound so happy in this entry. It is rubbing off and making me smile as I attempt to do some Arabic homework. Also, it makes me want dessert…

Awesome apple crisp!

I love apples in the fall. By mid-winter, when the only fruit I’ve eaten for months is apples and pears, their luster has worn off a bit.

i don’t suppose we should try a sonoma grape crisp? then we could talk about it really obnoxiously, like, “hm, this varietal gives the crisp a faint fruitiness, and a vague scent of something… almost like a pound of melted butter.”

Yeah, Sebastopol is a bit of a sad sight these days, as far as apples are concerned. They’ve torn down even more orchards since I was a kid. But you can still get Gravensteins when they’re in season, which makes me a very, very happy lady.
Thanks for the comment – I’m excited to browse through your site! (I’m an intermittent knitter and ogler of pretty yarns)

I LOVE crisps! And there was once upon a time when Sebastopol was the apple capitol of the world- before they gutted all the orchards and replaced them with vineyards. I used to sneak through the woods and into the orcahard next to our property to steal apples. Then we’d make loads of fresh apple sauce, crisps, and cider.
