Apple Crisp Pie

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

I’m sure many of you are up and about preparing for tomorrow’s feast. Not this girl!  This past weekend we hosted Friendsgiving at our house and it was wonderful.  We have so much to be thankful for and we wanted to celebrate with our friends.  I made a turkey, green beans, mashed potatoes, apple crisp pie. pumpkin cheesecake, and peanut butter brownies.  Everyone else brought a dish to share, we had quite the feast!

Husband and I are just hanging out here in Columbus for thanksgiving since he has to work on Friday.  So we will be keeping it fairly low key, which is fine by me! The past couple of months in school have been so busy as I have been traveling a lot, so I am thankful for the this quiet holiday.

I wanted to share this Apple Crisp Pie in case there are any last minute recipe hunters out there.  I LOVED this pie.  It really was simple to make and it turned out delicious, highly recommended.
