This week I made a dessert to take to a church activity I was attending. I saw this Apple Crisp Pizza recipe, and decided to try it out.
Since I hadn’t made this dessert before, and I wanted to make sure it tasted good, I asked my husband if he would try a piece. I didn’t have to twist his arm to be my taste tester. He quickly answered yes that he would eat a piece of the dessert before I left. He said it was delicious, so I knew that I could take the dessert with me.
At the activity, a number of people mentioned that they liked the dessert. Since everyone that I talked to liked it (plus, me too!), I knew it was something I wanted to share with you.
