I’ve spent a lot of my life living in the desert. Austrialia, Texas and Arizona are few of my stomping grounds growing up and low and behold, my lovely rain soaked Portland has turned into a desert this summer.
It has been two weeks of unending 90+ degree weather. Part of me is in heaven because of the sunshine and part of me is in hell because we don’t have air conditioning.
It was seriously hard thinking of what to make and this recipe is part accident and part motherly invention. At first I was shooting for a paleo apple crisp recipe and . . . .
I cooked the apples WAY too long but after I had my first taste, I was like, why throw out something good because it just doesn’t look the part?
I ate this warm with vanilla ice cream and trust me, it was everything amazing.
