Do you have a pet, or friends who love their pets, or a pet craving for apple crisp?
Check out my friend Mimi Kitner and her Pet Paintings. If you send her a photo of little Fenway, Goose, Shiloh, Freckles or Frisky, she’ll send you back a stunning painting. It’ll cost you, but just like Mimi’s Delicious Apple Crisp, it’s worth it.
Mimi’s Delicious Apple Crisp
- 8 small or medium-sized tart apples, such as McIntosh, peeled, cored, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 1 stick butter (1/2 cup), room temperature
- 1 c brown sugar
- 1 c flour
Grease a 9-inch square (or any medium-sized) baking dish. Add apple slices to the dish.
In a large bowl use your fingers to mix the butter, sugar and flour to a crumble. Completely cover the apples with the crumble. (Can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for 24 hours. Remove from refrigeration 30 minutes before baking.)
Preheat oven to 350F. Bake for 60 minutes until bubbling and golden. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. Serves 6.

Apple crisp and pet paintings…..my favourite combo!
Hey Lorry, I know you’d love one of them. 🐕
both beautiful
Thanks Jovina! I agree. Beautiful dessert, beautiful paintings!
what fun to see pet love, dream of apple crisp, and hear music! Fun as always I delight in your sharing!
The music is so cool!! Love both songs.
And yes, once again! after reading from the link to the history of the MacIntosh apple, and hearing how most apples I love are Canadian in origin, I am once again delighted to be reminded how important and significant Canadians are to the delights in my life!
Apples tell great stories.
I love putting ciom (lemon?) and grated ginger on apples and use a mix of harvest crunch and rolled oats with a bit of butter but no brown sugar as sweet enough with cereal on top. Ps cute dog pics
Good suggestions Toby! The brown sugar can be reduced. I removed the word packed cause I don’t think it should be exaggerated.
I also love the rolled oat style of apple crisp. This recipe is an interesting alternative.
I agree that the pet paintings are super!
The McIntosh apple is soooo good! That is one food I miss a lot being in California. It was interesting to read its history! I can close my eyes and remember their taste and texture, and fragrance! Yum! thank you for sharing the recipes, music, pet pictures & memories (for me!!)
Life is so interesting as a transplant. You traded McIntosh for the biggest, best array of fresh produce.
Guess you’ll just have to visit us for a sample.
Thanks for liking Louise!
I love your positive response! and you are right, produce here is so fresh and varied, its easy to take it for granted. I especially enjoy what I can grow in my garden and yard!
I’m always curious to read about your food, music and art discoveries!!! I look forward to what you will share next!
