- 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers
- 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, softened
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F.

Secret Tip
Canned fruit can sometimes have a slightly tinny flavor. Adding just 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg will freshen the canned flavor and give the crisp a certain mysterious and warm fragrance.
