oh goodness - it's been so long and probably don't have any readers but this is as much for me as it would be for anyone that still reads this. so pinterest...i've done a few posts about it in the past and i'm sure there are actual professionals that do pinterest testing but i want to restart a series on PINTEREST TESTED. just quick little reviews...i'm always looking for THE best recipe of whatever i'm making. i want my boys to grow up and say, "remember when mom made that ______?? that was THE best!"  but seriously, i want to gather up all the yummy recipes that are THE best. here's my first one...

APPLE CRISP: "the best apple crisp you'll ever have"
KEEPER. i don't usually bake with dark brown sugar as most recipes call for golden but it's yummy and i could smell all the yummy molasses coming out of the dark brown sugar...i left out the almonds as my #1 is allergic, but i'd add it if i was eating this all by myself.  so the only other substitution / add on i made was the vanilla bean and bourbon. vanilla beans cost almost an arm and a leg - and i didn't have bourbon on hand so i used vanilla bean paste that i picked up at sur la table when scott and i took a cooking class together. this stuff is BOMB.COM as my husband would say. i would buy this stuff in gallons if i could. it's THAT good. the only other adjustment i made was using a 9x9 baking pan versus the 8x8. not sure if the 8x8 would have held all the yummy crisp this recipe makes. follow this recipe to a T - i'm betting you'll be tucking this gem away to make THE best apple crisp for that perfect fall night...summer bbq...or right now. :P
