Basque Apple Cinnamon Mint Crisp
"Refreshing Healthy Apple Crisp! This was delightfully different than anything I've made before. The cinnamon and mint combine to make a hot cinnamon candy flavor. I think orange juice and zest would go perfectly with it, but haven't tried it yet. Adapted from "Basque Cooking and Lore" by Darcy Williamson. The topping forms a crunchy solid crust that you have to crack through. This is very dry as is which is improved with ice cream, but I'm adding the options of adding some juice and zest if you like.
