Third Time...

..is the charm! Finally, success.

This is the apple crisp from the Barefoot Contessa. (here's a version online) It's quite possibly the best crisp I've ever had. My grandma used to make apple crisp every year around this time, and so it always reminds me of her. So I thought it might be appropriate. I think the major difference is the use of lemon and orange zest and juice, plus a much bigger, crunchier topping.

Uh, plus a lot more butter and sugar.

Yeah. It's pretty good. Pretty damn good.
