Apple Maple Crisp

There's a particular hour in autumn when the whole house smells of something warm in the oven. Apple Maple Crisp opens with tart red apple and cinnamon bark, then softens into brown sugar and toasted oats — the kind of scent that settles into a room rather than announces itself. A base of maple syrup and vanilla rounds the whole thing into something quiet and familiar. Best burned in the kitchen, a dining room, or anywhere a slow autumn afternoon feels right.

Hand-poured in Sarasota, Florida in small batches. Wax blend: soy-coconut. Wick: cotton-core. Net weight: 8 oz. Estimated burn time: 45–55 hours. Vessel: reusable glass tumbler — clean with warm soapy water once the candle is spent. Free of paraffin, phthalates, and parabens. Every batch is made in small quantities, which means minor variation between pours is part of the craft.

Trim the wick to ¼ inch before every burn. On the first burn, allow the wax to reach a full melt pool — typically 2 to 3 hours — to prevent tunneling. Keep away from drafts, pets, and children. Never burn unattended. Discontinue use when ¼ inch of wax remains.
