You Dessert This…You Really Do!

Desserts, yessss! Everyone's favorite part of a meal, right?! Well I tell ya' I'm definitely a fan! I have a thing for chocolate like Resees peanut butter cups, Snickers and I can go on.  However, I've learned how to pull the reigns and get that cravin' under control. Though I still indulge in my favorites, I often substitute them with healthier desserts that include fruit, jello, peanut butter, yogurt, etc.  Sometimes I even go to the kitchen and whip up a yuumy dessert in the kitchen...like my Mother-Luvin' Apple Crisps!


Mother-Lovin' Apple Crisps



1 cup rolled oats
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour (preferrably unbleached or wheat)
7 tablespoons butter, melted
5 medium-large apples- peeled, cored and chopped (preferrably Golden Delicious apples)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
 
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Use a 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, brown sugar, flour and butter.
Mix until crumbs form.
3. Spread the apples (and raisins) at bottom of baking dish. Sprinkle
crumb mixture evenly on top of the apples. Bake in oven for 45 minutes
or until golden brown.
