When apples become a little less fresh for eating raw, apple crisp is a great way to prevent food waste. This easy recipe is great for homeschool activities during the Coronavirus Pandemic and is really delicious. It requires only basic ingredients, many of which are easily substituted. For example, if you don’t have coconut sugar, substitute brown sugar. If you don’t have walnuts, use almonds.
