Bourbon Apple Crisp with Salted Caramel & Toasted Marshmallow

Years ago, I was throwing my wife a surprise birthday party. From an earlier conversation, she had mentioned that instead of a traditional birthday cake, she wanted me to prepare one of her favorite comfort food desserts. This particular birthday was a big deal; it was her 30th.

It is an important milestone, to say the least. I was up early the morning of her birthday and had scheduled a spa day for her, including a mani-pedi.
