Bella’s Easy Apple Crumble

        The absolute hardest thing about moving 2 hours away from our hometown is being so far away from our nieces and nephew.  My sweet niece Bella is 5 years old and growing up SO FAST!  She has developed a love for cooking and it makes my foodie heart so happy!  For Christmas she got an adorable Minnie Mouse apron, kid-friendly knives and recipe cards!  (Way to go, Mom!) She prepped this Easy Apple Crumble all by herself and her mom took pics for me!  How precious right? Cutest chef ever! This is a GREAT recipe to make with your kiddos!  Auntie loves you so much Bella!  Thank you for the awesome recipe and pics to share with our blog readers and friends!  <3 <3 <3
