A fall classic, apple crisps is a streusel-topped pie without a bottom crust. Super simple to put make and you can use almost any fruit that is in season. For this recipe we're going to use the early picked Wealthy apples that are in the Market from Heritage Orchard in Chilton, WI. Other great apples for crisps are Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Golden Delicious, and you can always mix apples for a little more flavor depth in the filling.
