I am a huge fan of crisps and crumbles, but I do not feel the same about apples. For some reason I just cannot stand apples. hehe! 

 

 

But apple crisp, I love, LOVE, loooove! Mainly the crisp part. Its so crumbly, crunchy, not so sweet with the nice bite from the cashews. This was a forgotten recipe actually. I should thank one of my readers Aysha Ashraf for requesting apple crumble recipe. 

 

 

So as I was searching for a nice presentable crumble recipe, I just remembered my mom’s apple crisp. I called my mom to ask for the recipe, hoping she will remember it as she doesn’t remember the recipe to most of her masterpieces she used to make when I was a child. 

 

 

But thankfully she did remember this. Yaaay! I was so happy to see how absurdly easy it is to put this together. When the crisp was getting baked, the aroma that filled my home was just too good, really nostalgic! Remembered how eagerly I used to wait for this yummy stuff to come out of the oven when I was a child. 

 

 

So here goes the recipe for everybody especially Aysha! enjoy! 🙂
