Apple Crisp St. George’s Cross

This delicious British treat combines caramelly apple filling and a toasty oaty topping, crowned with a festive strawberry St. George’s cross. I like to use a mix of grammy smith and fuji apples, but any apple or combination will work. Serve it with vanilla bean ice cream for a dessert that’s sure to slay.
