~Craisin Raisin Apple Crisp~

As we were cruisin' down the Mass Pike (I-90), suddenly I remembered that on Fridays there is a Farmers' Market at the Charlton Plaza.  That plaza is usually a good "get out and stretch" place for us when we travel to/from Boston, so stopping there was in the plans, anyway.  The market was still open - Cortland apples were the big purchase.

Craisin Raisin Apple Crisp

In September local apples are definitely a must!  I had visions of Craisin Raisin Apple Crisp!  Cortlands are very crisp at this time of year and are great apples to use when baking.  Probably the only variety of apple my mom used when she baked apple pies and made applesauce.  Thanksgiving is usually the time when I bake pies, so it's not a weekly habit.  I do like nutritious/ delicious food that takes less time and effort to prepare!  Craisin Raisin Apple Crisp fits the description with no pie crust to roll out.  I bake this often, because it's filled with apples, craisins, raisins and oats and all family members enjoy it.  Last year I posted this recipe during the beginning of October.  It's just delicious! :)
