About the Recipe: This is a perfect recipe to serve for any holiday meal. The dessert blends the citrus flavors, sweet molasses, and light rye flour together in such a magical way that you would never guess what makes this apple crisp so delicious and special. The streusel topping has a crispy nutty texture, melting into the richly caramelized sweet apples. The bonus is that it is easy to make and filled with those crisp tender yet crunchy apples.
