MINI APPLE CRISPS

Mini Apple Crisps image

My family and I pick Honeycrisp apples at our local orchard every September. We are always looking for new ways to use the apples and this has become a favorite. The kids go straight to the refrigerator, grab a crisp, top it with ice cream, and have a delicious after-school snack. I also put these in their lunches for a special surprise. -Sabrina Olson, Otsego, Minnesota
