The Best Small Batch Apple Crisp

Small batch apple crisp

This delightful apple crisp has the perfect fruit to topping ratio for my liking. Meaning it is not too heavy handed or soupy on the fruit base, and every bite gets fair billing of topping and fruit. And the topping is delightfully crunchy thanks to the rolled oats and chopped pecans. And crisped up by the butter and brown sugar.

A pull apart gingerbread man is great for little hands. This handsome dude is much less fussy than tiny details and especially ideal for younger kids who need a parent’s assistance. But he’s equally great for families looking for a cool weather, single household yummy project! So much quicker and simpler to make one big ‘cookie’ than many smaller ones.

Delicious Ginger Spiced Blueberry Pie

Blueberry pie is nothing new and a rather easy fruit pie at that. No peeling or dicing of fruit. Just a quick rinse and sort through of the berries. But I like to kick it up a notch and amplify the flavours by adding freshly grated ginger! It’s my ‘secret’ or unexpected ingredient I insist on adding to blueberry pie that is not in most recipes and makes all the difference!

As easy kids treats go, it doesn’t get much easier or popular as marshmallow pops. These simple treats are a hit with kids and are very little hands friendly for assembling.

How To Get Churros And Crullers (From One dough)

crullers and churros

It occurred on me in my last donut making spree, that I could make churros and honey crullers simultaneously. Because basically both crullers and churros begin with a choux pastry. And what’s better than making one deep fried treat?! Making two.
