Curating Home | Hosting Well

I don’t know about you but I’m soaking up every last bit of Summer that I can in terms of activity but as far as food and drank go, I’m here for Fall, friends. I'’ll keep eeking out the last outdoor dinners for as long as I can and I’m just adding a taste of fall to the table because after-all the doors are getting to stay open a little longer with crisp mornings making an appearance and I receive those 80 degree afternoons.

I wanted to share an easy apple crisp recipe that makes for a lasting impression and doesn’t take too much time. This might pairs well with a sunset gathering over wine + coffee with dessert. Inspired by The Kinfolk Table but switched around quite a bit to pair well with my “use what I have” methodology in the kitchen.

Ingredients

Crisp Apples | *when choosing your apples remember to squeeze them as hard as you can with you finger tips and only choose the apples that don’t indent at all
Cinnamon
Himalayan Salt
Unbleached All Purpose Flour
Unbleached Granulated Sugar
Muscovado Brown Sugar | *Switching from normal brown sugar to muscovado has been a favorite switch in the baking department

A Cold Topping |
Vanilla Ice Cream
Nutmeg

| Filling |

4 Crisp Apples ()
3 Tbsp Salted Butter
