Baked Apple Dessert

I know I said I was out of my apple phase, but I couldn't resist picking up these gorgeous, fancy apples! Look at them! Big and shiny, bright and confident (as if a piece of fruit can feel confident?!)...I don't know if I've ever seen such pretty apples.

So, once again, I'm trying to include apples in nearly everything I make. Wish me luck! I hope I don't get sick of apples. I'll have to try and spread them out, and use them in a variety of ways.

This is an incredibly easy, and wholesomely tasty dessert. I like it even better than a regular apple crisp.
