On today’s menu we have a Tomato and Hot Italian Sausage Risotto followed by a Warm Apple Crisp a la mode. Mel and I teamed up to make both dishes.
The Risotto includes onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, hot Italian sausage, and wilted spinach. We topped it with fresh grated Parmesan Reggiano.
The warm apple crisp was super easy to make. We peeled 6 Braeburn apples and layered them on the bottom of a baking dish and topped that with our crust mixture. Then we just popped it in the oven for about 30 minutes and voila! Warm Apple Crisp a la mode.
I love the smell of apple crisp. Both dishes were great!

I love apple crisp too! I make this all the time for holidays and things. I like to use 3 different types of apples, Honeycrisp or Braeburn, Granny Green Smiths and Golden Delicious. Then I like to mix my apples with leamon juice, vanilla & almond extract, a little white sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. The apples soak up all these flavors and it is soooo good!!! It is super easy too

That sounds like a great mix. Johnny and I just used cinnamon and sugar, but perhaps we’ll have to try your combo sometime!

What is your crust mixture? it looks so moist, not like a crumble topping at all. Just looking at the picture is making me hungry!!!!
