Arrange crescent roll triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Evenly distribute brown sugar mixture onto each triangle. Sprinkle each triangle evenly with the chopped pecans. Place an apple slice on the wide end of each triangle. Wrap crescent roll dough around each apple. Brush each crescent roll with remaining butter. Sprinkle lightly with additional apple pie spice. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.  Creating in the kitchen is so much fun! You can share your pictures of your apple crisp on griggs facebook page, or email them to me so that I can see your creation.

A Little Pick-Me-Up "So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image." (2 Corinthians 3:18) This verse is a reminder that what we behold, we become. When you behold something, it means you're looking at it for a long time. You're spending a lot of time with it! The things you spend your time doing or the people you spend your time with will eventually make up part of who you are. Take some time to think about how much time you're spending doing things in your life and if that is equally balanced with the time you're spending with Jesus. The more time you spend with Him, the more you will become like Him! Fun Fact: When leaves change color in the fall, they are actually becoming their true color. In the summer, the chlorophyll (which is how the leaves receive nourishment from the sun) takes over and causes them to turn green and hide their color. Craft/Science Project Apple Stamping  Supplies: brown construction paper white construction paper white glue or glue stick scissors green paint red paint 2 foam brushes 2 paper plates 2 apples, cut in half apple seeds, reserved from cut apples markers (optional) Directions:  1. Use scissors to cut a piece of construction paper in half. 2. Cut a one-half sheet of paper into long strips. Cut a one-half sheet of paper into short strips. Lay one long strip on a flat surface and place the short strips in the opposite direction, overlapping and gluing the pieces together. 3. Use long strips to weave the basket and glue the ends. 4. Finish the basket with one long piece of paper, on the top and secure with glue. Trim the sides of the basket and round the corners on the bottom of the basket. 5. Place paint on paper plates. Use foam brushes to apply paint to sliced apples and stamp them onto white construction paper. Let dry. 6. When dry, use glue to add the basket to the paper and the seeds to the apple. *If you need picture references, please visit the link posted for the original craft: o   https://premeditatedleftovers.com/naturally-frugal-mom/apple-stamping-craft/#_a5y_p=5594193
