Skillet Apple Crisp

October 21, 2011 |

I absolutely love fruit dessert that end in “pie”, “cobbler” or “crisp”. I love flaky pie crust, light-as-air biscuit topping, and crunchy streusel toppings. It might even be a fair statement that I love all of these things even more than the fruit fillings. Hey, you like what you like and you can’t help it! [...]

I love scones so, so much. By and large, they are easy. And delicious. And totally adaptable. You can make scones out of virtually any flavor with any add-ins you’d like. Dark chocolate chip scones are one of the very first baked goods that I made on my own, and would make all of the [...]

Crumb bars. Pie bars. Crumble bars. Streusel bars. God I love summer. All of the fruit. And pies. And tarts. And buttery, flaky, streusel-y bars like these. It’s my personal warm-weather heaven.

I’ve been on a bit of a granola kick lately. A little while back I made those chewy, 100% customizable granola bars that are totally fun for mixing and matching ingredients. Then, I shared with you my all-time favorite granola recipe. I am hopelessly addicted to that stuff. I made a batch of it for [...]

I love granola for much of the same reason that I have always loved granola bars – it’s hearty, sweet, and usually full of all kinds of great nuts and fruit. For a long time I bought granola at the store and stirred it into yogurt or would eat it by the handful as a [...]

Back when I first got out of college and was pining my days away in a cubicle farm, I always hit that stereotypical 3pm brick wall at full speed. To be honest, I still start to drag in the middle of the afternoon but the effects are somewhat lessened when you’re not stuck in a [...]

You may not believe what I’m about to tell you. I only half believe it myself. But I really think that I am sweet-ed out from the holidays. I don’t even think I ate all that much, but all of the baking, oiy. I kinda don’t even want to look at a cookie right now. [...]
