Apple season has just begun and I love apples. You can make many wonderful apple desserts but Apple Crisp is the easiest and delicious!!
Apple Crisp can make in different ways and in this recipe, we are using 3 special ingredients, Brown butter, whole wheat flour, and maple syrup. In most of the traditional recipes, it is all-purpose flour, cold butter and brown sugar.
The brown butter gives a nuttiness and aroma to the crispy topping. Whole wheat flour is healthier than all-purpose flour.

- Prepare the Apple filling with maple syrup, vanilla, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
