Fall means Fox's Fancy Apple Crisp

Fall is probably our favorite time of year at Gatherer's​.

We celebrate our 'birthday' in September, and enjoy the apple spice season up until the first snow flake hits the ground. Our favorite fall flavor is Fox's Fancy. It tastes just like an apple pie. Eating it with warm milk or in hot oatmeal is reminiscent of a fresh baked pie right from Mom's oven on Thanksgiving. One of our favorite Fox's Fancy recipes is an Apple Crisp with granola as the topping. Follow the recipe below and enjoy the smells and taste that go along with it. Happy Fall!
