Secret Recipe Club: Weekend Dessert

Time for another Secret Recipe Club!


I know what you are thinking-- Weekend Dessert?

My pick this month was Lauren from Keep It Sweet. Lauren called this Apple Crisp, Weekend Dessert, because when it is made, it will barely last all weekend! Which is so true, because this only lasted about 30 hours in our house!





Apples are one fruit that everyone in my family will eat! So I knew this would be a hit! I added some oatmeal to my topping to add some more texture but this is my preference and totally optional.

Lauren and I actually have something in common because we have both visited an apple orchard this fall and are up and ready with apple recipes! Lauren made applesauce and an apple pie with hers and I made crockpot applesauce and this apple crisp so far with mine!

Lauren has some great desserts on her blog so be sure to go over and check it out!
 You won't be disappointed! She also has a step by step of how to make Apple Crisp!
