Last night, realizing that I had six apples in my fridge, I decided that I would make apple crisp this morning. With oatmeal in the recipe, I thought, it could be considered a breakfast food!
Alas, when I set out to make it, I realized I had used up all my oatmeal last week. Although there are apple crisp recipes that don’t call for oatmeal, I could not bring myself to create such an abomination.
So, there I was, bedecked in an apron and ready to bake. I looked at Lucy, who had roused herself from sleep upon hearing clattering in the kitchen, and asked, “Is there an easy apple cake recipe I could make instead?”.
Of course there was. I did a little online search and found one that required a 9×9 pan. I live alone, and baking a 9×13 cake for one person me seemed extravagant.
And, an hour later, I had a cake. It actually was more like an apple-cinnamon brownie, and it smelled great.
I also happened to have whipping cream in the fridge, so, while the cake cooled I got whipping. It’s maybe a good thing I did PE With Joe this morning!
Looks delicious. I bet the house smelled really good with the spices. And homemade whipped cream as well.
OMG this looks amaaaaazing. Do you have a recipe to share??

Apple cinnamon brownie? Yes, please! Nice swerving when necessary, and I hope your oats supply gets replenished without too much fuss.
That looks so yummy!! Apple crisp is totally a breakfast food, but this looks like a great dessert.
Yum! That looks amazing! I want to bake some apple crisp now. (Although you will disapprove, because I am firmly in the camp of oatmeal in a crisp being an abomination.
