RazApple Crumble

I love colors. Bright, brilliant colors. I could look at a combination of my fiestaware dishes every day for minutes (and I do), or stare at a beautifully plated dish in a resaturant with brilliant green brocolli or peas. Raspberries are one of my favorite colors. The brilliant red with a touch of pink is stunning to my eyes. The apples in this recipe pick up the rasberry coloring, and I think they would be so pretty if they were made in a clear glass baking dish to show it off.
