Nada’s Tips & Tricks: I’ve made many crisps but I’ve never added balsamic vinegar to them…so this was a first and it was pretty good. I added pears to the apples to add a little fall flavour. Someone ate all the ice cream so alas we didn’t have any to go with this crisp – it would have made the perfect dessert!
