Dani Johnson's Apple Crisp Recipe

Let me first give you a disclaimer. This is not a healthy recipe. It's not the worst recipe for you, but it is high in sugar, so just be aware and treat it as a treat meal and not as a "healthy" option

Dani Johnson shared this recipe in one of her "Daily Fix" Emails. If you do not know who she is, or get her emails, go check it out here.  I love that she stresses using what you have on hand and not wasting things. I am the same way. I cringe when I have to throw food away and I have no idea why. I think my dad was pretty frugal, so it must have rubbed off on me. My theory is, if im faithful with what I have and use it wisely, I can do the things I want to with the extra money. I think a lot of this mentality also came from being a low income/ one income military wife. I was forced to make it work and being frugal really helped us to be able to do more. I still save veggie scraps in the freezer to make stock. Waste not; want not, right?
