Chai Spice Apple Crisp

Love apple crisp? Then you have to try this Chai Spice Apple Crisp! The apples are coated in warming spices like cardamom, allspice, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger! And the buttery oatmeal crumb topping is sweet, crunchy, and just begging to be topped with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream! The ULTIMATE Fall dessert, if you ask me!
