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!
