Old Fashioned Apple Crisp

There’s a reason apple crisp is the recipe fall baking always comes back to – it’s simple, forgiving, and exactly what you want when the weather turns. This one gets a little something extra: a spoonful of Crosby’s molasses in the topping, adding a deep, brown-sugar warmth that plain sugar can’t quite reach. Perfect for a Tuesday night, no special occasion required.

    I’m giving this a 5 rating because I know it will be excellent BUT….where is the molasses in the topping ingredients?! It lists sugar but no molasses…
