Wondering what to do with all those backyard apples? I was having that same dilemma after my very kind and generous neighbour brought me a huge bag of crab-apples from her bountiful tree. So tasty, pure and tart, my granddaughter and I enjoyed a huge amount right away…maybe a few too many! So after a few days away from munching on them, I decided to see if I could make a nutritious smoothie that tasted like my favourite autumn dessert…apple crisp. It was a huge success! I was so excited about it I started writing down the ingredients as I was drinking it. You can never go wrong when something tastes great and is healthy as well…Hope you enjoy it!
