You can replace the spices (cinnamon & nutmeg) with pumpkin spice or apple spice mix for an extra flavor kick in this apple crisp recipe.
Most apple crisp recipes call for the skin to be removed but since a lot of benefits lie in the apple skin; I generally keep them on. Plus, why do the extra work when it tastes the same, correct?
The use of chocolate bits is totally optional but I like a bit of melted dark chocolate on top of the crisp; it adds a nice taste.
