I love Autumn; everything from apple picking at our local orchard to all the great baking in my kitchen. The sights, sounds and smells of the season truly bring me warmth and comfort. I decided to re-create a childhood favourite- Apple Crisp- but made it gluten-free and let me tell you it’s Crolicious. While this recipe is in no way Croatian, it does however remind me of my Mom’s apple baking every Saturday morning.
