The Lunch Hour: Apple Crisp

This is one of those treats that you can do during your break and have the smell fill up the whole office. Our little toaster oven has a pan so I just fill up the pan.

Preheat toaster oven to 350 degrees F

Ingredients:

4-5 apples peeled, cored, and sliced somewhat thinly
1/2 cup honey
dash of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg

For the crisp part on top:
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup cold butter sliced thinly
1 1/2 cup of flour for a crumbly crumble

To modify it to your baking needs:

Place apples in your dish, sprinkle with spices, and cover with enough honey that you can see a little bit of honey at the bottom. Make sure honey covers all slices by moving pieces around with a fork. Make sure that your apples fill about 3/4 of your pan so that there is enough space for your crisp part on top.

For the crisp part on top, place the honey on the thinly sliced cold butter, and cover both with flour. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour. Make sure the crumble part is actually crumbly. If needed add more flour to give it that desired texture. Once crumbly place on top of your apples in your dish. Make sure all apples are covered.

Put into toaster oven for about 20-25 minutes. Check on it every once in a while. Our toaster in the office has a tendency to slightly burn the center part of the crisp. It will be done when some of the apple/honey juices are bubbling on the sides of the crisp.

One of these days I'll actually bring a camera to take pictures of the items I bake at work.

Once done bring out and let cool. You'll  have a long line of people waiting to eat the cobbler/crisp, just remind them to bring their own plates.
