The Recipe
Back when I threw out the question about grills, Christy left a comment about how she makes Apple Crisp on the grill. I asked her for the recipe…and she kindly sent it to me. Doesn’t this sound SO good?
Apple Crisp on the Grill
In a bowl, mix together the apples, cinnamon and flour. Coat well, and add apple juice and sugar/or honey. Mix in with apples and fold in until mixture is combined. Place in an old metal bread pan or two disposable pie plates.
5-6 apples diced w/skins on (Adds color and extra vitamins)
2 T Sugar or honey
2 T. Apple juice
1 t . cinnamon
2T. whole wheat or AP flour
Topping:
1/4 c. whole wheat flour
1/4 c. rolled oats
1/4 c. butter (cold is good)
3 T . Brown Sugar
1 t. cinnamon
Mix topping ingredients together, and crumble evenly to the top of the apples! Wrap tightly in foil.
Christy says, “I put the crisp on the BBQ on low, at the same time as I I put on my potatoes, followed by the vegetables, then the burgers! When our main course is ready I turn off the heat, and let the crisp finish, and let the juices get nice and thick. The smell is amazing and brings a touch of fall to the air” :)

I was sent TWO coupons for a FREE package of Original Brat Hans Sausages. My grocery stores don’t carry these sausages (I think you can find them at Whole Foods), so they said I could give them away to two of you!! If you’re interested in these Brat Hans Gourmet Chicken Sausages with No Nitrates, No Nitrites, No MSG, No Fillers, No Antibiotics, No Added Hormones, No Preservatives…leave a comment on this post! I’ll draw two random winners at the end of the week.

We have a Whole Foods here in the Valley. I would love to have a coupon. Your planning always gives me motivation for the week, so thank you. The menu looks great.
I am just getting started on my real food journey, so I would love to win! I am so thankful I found your blog. You have some recipes that I think my children will love! I am really going to need some kid-friendly meals and snacks as I make this transition! Thank you.
I would love a coupon, we have a bunch of Whole Foods in this area… just recently found your site and LOVE it! I made a variation of your zucchini whole wheat bread this morning, added in shredded carrots, more spices, and used agave nectar/pure maple syrup to sweeten! My husband and son LOVED it!

I live in WI and brats are practically required love before you are allowed to live here! And it is so hard to find decent for you brats. These sound great!

I can’t wait to see who wins the curriculum ebook! Your menu and the apple crisp recipe sounds wonderful! I am not sure if Earth Fare carries that brand of sausage. I know our local stores dont so that lets me out of this give away.
My daughter loves sausage, I’ll give them a try. The apples on the grill sounds yummy.

We gave up nitrates and msg about 2 years ago and my husband always says he misses brats the most. We love these, but they don’t fit into our monthly budget that well. I would LOVE to surprise him with some freebies! :)
Would love to win! :)
I would love to try these and have a Whole Foods in my area. Thanks for a great website.
I’d love a coupon!
was looking at your menu and thinking tomato soup, isn’t it too hot for that? I tried gazpacho with grilled cheese and it got a thumbs up from most of my crew:) Haven’t tried many cold soup but this one is fun once in awhile:)
These sound really good. I would love a coupon to try them.
I never heard of them but I do shop at Whole Foods about once a month.
This is probably not the place to give you a yummy recipe but I thought your boys would LOVE these – mine do.
Peanut Butter Balls
1 cup natural peanut butter (I use my own)
4 cups oats
3/4 cup honey
mix together, form into little cookie dough size balls, keep in the fridge. YUMMY!
We make a trip to the big city to shop at Whole Foods about 6 times a year. I would like to enter the drawing for the coupon.
THanks
I would love to try the sausages if they are GF!
We have a Whole Foods here and I believe I have seen these at the local natural foods store. Hubby would LOVE these.
We love sausages and I’m trying to find some that aren’t full of yucky nitrates. Would love to try these! Getting the coupon would make the trek to our “local” Whole Foods worth it. I always have a running list for WF for whenever we happen to be near there. :-) Thanks for the chance to get this!
Crunchy Ranch chicken sounds very yummy..
If you have a recipe can you please forward to me?
Thanks,
Bharathi
That recipe isn’t on my site, but you can find it in my “What to Do With Chicken” ebook: https://www.heavenlyhomemakers.com/what-to-do-with-the-chicken-in-your-kitchen-ebook
Thanks :)
Looks yummy! I love the classic grilled cheese and tomato soup.
Looks good, thanks! And I’ll be keeping the pre-school e-book in mind when my littlest turns 3 or 4!
My husband is a sausage nut – would LOVE to try these!
Would love to win those coupons! Thanks for giving them away!
Mmmmm, I haven’t tried these sausages yet, but I always buy the nitrate/nitrite and preservative free kind…it gets expensive so I’d love to get a chance to try a new kind for free!
Those sound yummy and totally worth a trip to Whole Foods.
The sausage sounds great. I’d love some!
yummy!
Yum! My husband would love these!
