an apple a day keeps the doctor away...

...unless your apples are covered in sugar glaze and ice cream...

i'm not cooking today because i'm tired and lazy and my pantry is almost empty, so i have no new recipe to share...but i will say that over the weekend, i had the pleasure of eating one of the best homemade desserts i have ever had: apple crisps. the apples make you think you're eating healthy, meaning it's okay to go back for seconds (or, who am i kidding? thirds...definitely thirds...)

it wasn't my creation, but i did love every last bite, making it absolutely worth sharing

apple crisps

10 cups all-purpose apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1 cup white sugar

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup water


1 cup quick-cooking oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup butter, melted



Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the sliced apples in a 9x13 inch pan. Mix the white sugar, 1 tablespoon flour and ground cinnamon together, and sprinkle over apples. Pour water evenly over all.

Combine the oats, 1 cup flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and melted butter together. Crumble evenly over the apple mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees F for about 45 minutes.




of course, give thanks and enjoy with ice cream on top and surrounded by friends :)
