Last week the temperatures started to plummet and I could tell everyone was kind of getting a bit worn down. So, right before I started dinner I put together the apple crisp and popped it in the oven. When dinner was ready, I took the crisp out of the oven to cool. Right after dinner, I surprised everyone with warm apple crisp and it literally only took about an extra 10 minutes before dinner to put together. Because of our impromptu dessert, I don’t have any pictures (sad trombone).
I guess you’ll just have to make it yourself.

Apple Crisp seems like one of those desserts that tastes, looks, and feels like it takes a ton of work and preparation, but actually I bet you would be surprised to learn that you probably have everything on had already and it only takes a few minutes to put together before baking. Also, with it being autumn, there are so many wonderful kind of apples that are fresh and readily available.
Weeknight Apple Crisp
6 to 8 large apples (I used Honeycrisp) cored and sliced
3 Tbs. granulated sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup old fashioned oats
2/3 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 stick of cold butter cut into small pieces
Vanilla Ice cream for serving
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray non stick cooking spray in a 9 x 13 baking dish and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the apples, granulated sugar, and cinnamon and toss until apples are coated with sugar and cinnamon. Put the mixture in the baking dish.
In the same bowl, whisk together brown sugar, oats, flour, and salt until well combined. Then, either with your fingers or with beaters on a very low setting cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until pea size clumps are formed.
Spread the flour and oat mixture over the apples.
Bake for 50 – 60 minutes or until top is golden brown.
Let cool for 15 minutes and then serve with vanilla ice cream.
Anyone else have any impromptu dessert ideas?
