Hi everyone. Marco here. It’s been a while since I stopped by. Life has been busy and pretty good for me. Jenna and I are still together. I didn’t think it possible, but it seems as if I fall in love with her more and more, every day. She really is a special woman. I’d like to make our relationship more permanent by asking her to marry me, but there’s something holding me back. I’m not sure about Jenna’s answer. I know she loves me – at least I think she does. I mean I’m pretty sure she does, but I think something’s bothering her. It seems like she’s keeping some kind of secret from me. I’m not sure what… I’ll have to find out what it is before I ask her the big question. I have to admit that I’m a bit nervous. Anyway, I hadn’t planned on bringing this up but since I have, wish me luck. Moving right along: I actually stopped by to give you a recipe. Yes, recipe. LOL! Don’t look as shocked as Jenna when I first made this delicious and simple Apple Crisp recipe. She was so surprised it tasted good and suggested I share the recipe with you all. I don’t really cook but there are a few foods I can make really well. I’m King of Breakfasts. I can make the best flapjacks with sausage or bacon. I also make really good omelets and I make a killer hamburger. It’s moist and tasty. Oh, let’s not forget a good steak meal. I make those, too. What can I tell you? Being a Bachelor, I learned how to make the basics so that I wouldn’t starve when I couldn’t go out to a restaurant. A few weeks ago, we went to an apple orchid. Using some of the apples we picked, I made this Apple Crisp. They say Eve tempted Adam with an apple. Now, every chance I get, I tempt Jenna with this apple treat. I make it with either flour or graham cracker crumbs. The graham cracker crumbs are a winner with her. Jenna likes it a lot and thought I should share it with you on the blog. So here’s the recipe down below. I hope you like it. Let me know.

Apple Crisp
6 McIntosh apples, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces 1/2 lemon, juiced 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground or freshly grated nutmeg 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1/2 cup flour or fine graham cracker crumbs 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 stick butter 1 pint vanilla ice cream Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a 9 by 12 baking dish, combine apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar.
In a small bowl, mix flour or graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and butter together using the tines of a fork and your fingers, working until even, small crumbles form. Sprinkle topping evenly over apples and bake 15 to 20 minutes until apples are just tender and topping is golden brown. Top dishes of apple crisp with small scoops of vanilla ice cream. YUM!
