This Salted Maple Apple Crisp is my favorite thing I have ever baked. The combination of rich and sweet maple syrup with salt is simply to die for. Additional warming spices like cardamom and nutmeg take the flavor up a notch even more. Serve warm with your favorite ice cream for the ideal cozy fall day.
I love a good apple recipe. For more yummy apple recipes try my caramel apple overnight oats, brown butter apple pie blondies or my apple crisp yogurt bowl.
