Recipe by Diana 2

I found this recipe in of all places....the Air Miles magazine. Turns out it's from Chatelaine magazine. This is baked in individual serving sizes, but I expect it could also be made in a 9 or 10 inch casserole dish. Either way...nothing says comfort quite like a fruit crisp. This one especially. Would be wonderful to top off your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. I used orange juice in place of the liqueur. Use Granny Smith or any other firm apple because of the long baking time. Individual serving dishes should have a 1-1/2 cup capacity. Oh....don't forget the whipping cream on top ;)
