When I was in junior high and high school, I went to a church camp in New Mexico called Sacramento. One of my favorite parts of church camp was the wonderful food served in the cafeteria. My favorite dessert was apple crisp. Well, I just found a recipe that's really easy. I made it and told my daughter about my memories of my favorite church camp dessert. Well, it was good, but I don't think I'll ever find a recipe that's as good as what they served in Sacramento. Try it. It's a great fall dessert and would serve 9-12 people.
