What a lovely recipe. The rome apples are a great choice; they have a nice flavor and hold their shape, so the crisp looks great when dished up. I was surprised the maple syrup didn't assert itself more, but even so the result was a very nice harmony of tastes. The topping/filling ratio is just right; lots of "crisp" without going overboard. This dessert is great with vanilla icecream but is so good without it that any topping is unnecessary. Perfect for autumn. It's going into my permanent file for sure.
