 I don’t have too many dessert recipes on my blog. To be honest, I’m not really the most awesome dessert maker ever. I have managed to screw up making simple sugar cookies at home! So when Sprouts asked me to develop a couple dessert recipes for my next in-store demo, I was really put to the test! 

Apple crisp is hard to mess up. If you’re like me and can’t manage to bake anything to save your life, then do an apple crisp. It’s as simple as slicing apples, placing them in a baking dish, and covering them with an oatmeal-cinnamon topping. 

SO Easy! 

 

 Honeycrisp apples are perfect for baking. They retain their shape and get nice and soft at the same time– no soggy apples in this dish! The topping is made out of oat flour, rolled oats, cinnamon and butter. This dish is gluten-free, so if you’re suffering from celiac disease, you can rest easy and enjoy this dessert! 

We topped our apple crisp with vanilla ice cream. Lately, I’ve been keeping the little 3oz containers of BlueBell ice cream in our freezer. They’re the perfect size to take out and add to other desserts. Or, if we’re craving ice cream, it makes it easy to have a quick taste to satisfy that craving!
