I am eating this right now and it is so good and yummy and crispy. I used small green apples and left the skin on. I also used digestives like another reviewer as I had no wafers plus threw in some sultanas. Excellent recipe, many thanks. -
After seeing Lalaloula's photo for this recipe, I knew I had to make it.So, on 11/08/11 I did. :). Other than cutting the recipe in half,this recipe was made as it was written.For some reason it didn't crisp up, but we did like the " extra something " that the vanilla wafers gave this. Thanks for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) " -
This is a very nice, easy to make and yummy apple crisp recipe. I scaled it down to 2 cups apple in total and for that I used only 1/2 tbs sugar in total as my fruit was very sweet and ripe. I didnt have any vanilla wafers, so I subbed digestives, which worked out nicely. I found that for my oven the temp was a bit too high as some of the topping browned a bit too much. Other than that, though a true keeper. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing it here with us, Crafty! :)<br/>Made and reviewed for the Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap November 2011.

We loved this with the addition of a big ole scoop of Vanilla ice cream. Loved the variation using the vanilla wafers. Will certainly make again! Thanks Crafty! -
This was a wonderful dessert. Very easy to do and my boys loved the vanilla wafer taste. Will make again soon!

<p>Update: I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound poodle mix named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter.
