Hot Apple Crisp! YUMMY…here is my recipe for amazingness!

I just made the most amazing Apple Crisp and thought that I could share my recipe with you all! The best part of this Apple Crisp is that it tastes like the inside of an apple pie but even more amazing 🙂 and less fattening because most of the fat in a pie comes from the crust!
