An apple crisp recipe for the Passover / Pesach festival is one of several favorite dessert recipes for many Ashkenazim (Jews whose ancestors came from Central and/or Eastern Europe; singular form: Ashkenazi, Ashkenaz; descriptive form: Ashkenazic). My own family likes to make many varieties of apple crisp recipes for Passover / Pesach and for other times of the year. The following apple crisp recipe is a relatively simple one to make.
