DECONSTRUCTED APPLE CRISP

Our 11-year-old Birthday Boy Ben making his “Deconstructed Apple Crisp” creation.

“Who needs a Birthday Cake, when you have created pure deliciousness? Our freshly minted 11-year-old son Ben came up with the idea of a ‘Deconstructed Apple Crisp’ for his birthday. Take out ingredients for baking and steer clear of the oven. Get ready for something sweet and completely original, just like our boy, Ben. Enjoy!”
