It's the best time of the year: FALL!
We got a little lucky in Texas this year and it actually cooled down a little bit this last week and it almost, kind of actually felt like Fall?! Normally it's still a hundred thousand degrees this time of year, so I assure you this is a big deal.
So while I probably won't be busting out my scarves anytime soon, I don't feel terribly crazy working on warm, cozy things in the kitchen.
Like this apple crisp! Just for you! Or me! Just for me!
One little, perfect serving of apple crisp perfect for when you don't need to share dessert with anyone. Yes. A thousand times yes.
Apple/any fruit crisp in normal, large pan form is one of the easier things to make dessert-wise (in my opinion! don't @ me, bro). But in single-serving, one person size?? OH MY SO EASY.
One bowl. One small baking dish. A handful of ingredients. You can do it on a Tuesday! I promise.
My favorite part? This is not a dessert that you need to let cool before eating. It's a straight from the oven to the couch with a quick pit stop for some ice cream situation. You know those situations. They're good. Very, very good.
Happy Fall! Happy let's make fresh apple crisp whenever we want season!
