“I just need a little something…”
Anyone else ever uttered those words after dinner? You don’t need a big piece of cake or a dessert run to Marble Slab but you just need a little something sweet.
When I get the need for a little something sweet, I usually start thinking about what I could make that would satisfy the craving. But when you sit down and look at recipes, it’s pretty hard to find a recipe that doesn’t make enough for a family of 10. And when there’s just the two of you, it seems a little ridiculous to make that much. (Especially if you’re like me and the moment there are sweets in the house you lose all aspects of self control and eat it all within a day or two)
So last night I decided to make a dessert just for 2. And it was EXACTLY the perfect size when you just need something a little sweet.
Apple-Blueberry Crisp
1 Apple, peeled and sliced into bite size pieces
3 tbsp blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 tbsp white sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. rolled oats
1/4 c. flour
1/4 c. butter, softened
Mix together white sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over apples and toss to coat all pieces. Add in blueberries and toss again. Divide mixture into two small ovenproof dishes.
Combine brown sugar, oats, flour, and butter in a separate bowl. Cover the fruit with this mixture.
Bake at 350 F for about 25 minutes. The top should be golden brown and the apples soft.
Aren’t they just the cutest things you’ve ever seen? We got a CorningWare set as a wedding present that had a variety of sizes of dishes and I have finally found the purpose for these mini dishes!
Completely satisfying… I may just have to make more tonight…
Today’s sweetness: The pouring rain outside which has saved me from having to water my lawn
Really, a whole CUP of brown sugar?? Is that right?
That is NOT right! Good catch!
