Here I am again, five days later and no post! Well between getting busy at work (in front of a computer all day) and coming home to troubleshoot my poor Macbook, I just want to step away from the computer! I need a techie break, well except my iPhone because that doesn't count. Luckily I am on the horizon of a new iMac and a corrupt free Macbook! The lovely people at the Apple store will hopefully be recovering my stuff and I can get back to my posting schedule.
On the bright side, I am happy to be in the kitchen and cooking away. With the last of the apples I picked in New York I decided to make an apple crisp.
If you don't have one of these, they are super fun! It will core, peel, and slice apples evenly and quickly. It also works for potatoes! For this crisp, I diced the apples into fourths since I wanted to make petites.
I have been loving individual sized dessert lately, the little ramekins are just so darn cute and easy to serve.
This crisp topped with some vanilla bean ice cream can cure any computer woes...as long as they last that is!
Petite Apple Crisp
6 small tart apples, (4 cups)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick oats
1/3 cup butter, softened
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
ice cream
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease bottom and sides of 6 individual ramekins and set aside. Peel, core, and slice apples and arrange in bottom of ramekins. Combine brown sugar, flour, oats, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix till crumbly. Sprinkle topping over apples and bake for 20-25 minutes or until topping is golden brown and apples are tender when pierced with fork. Serve warm with ice cream.
This weekend I am off to another wedding in Outer Banks, North Carolina. Thanks to Brown Eyed Baker I think I am all set as to where to go when we get some free time. Any last minute recommendations are always welcome!
Lastly I wanted to wish everyone good luck in the Project Food Blog Challenge, there have been some great "getting to know you" posts and recipes! I am excited for the next round of postings!
Happy Baking!
