The Great Apple Crisp Bake Off

It's about to get real, people.

I love my roommate. I love him a lot. He's a great guy. He's a great cook. But when he tried to tell me his apple crisp was better than mine, I flew into a mad rage and proceeded to bake the best apple crisp known to mankind, ever, in the history of the world.

Then he baked an apple crisp too.

In our inability to come to an agreement over whose recipe was better, we turned to the only logical solution: a bake off, to be judged by our coworkers. Or, rather, my coworkers, as he only has two coworkers and they are obviously not as awesome as my coworkers.

It took two days and, like, twenty people before we finally reached the final verdict: it was a tie. (this photo does not reflect the final score, I just like it better)

Clearly, my coworkers are not as awesome as I thought.

This leaves it up to you, dear internet. Which of these recipes do you like best? Try them both and put your vote in the comments!
