The holidays are here, whether we are ready for them or not!
Today, Monday before Thanksgiving, everyone is thinking turkey and we at teacup are thinking Holiday Baking.
We have decided to start a holiday baking series, baking and showing you "how to tips" for making delicious and easy sweets that you can share through the season ahead.

Today's lesson is Organic Apple crisp, individually served, one of my favorite entertaining desserts. Not only it is easy, but your guests will feel special and comforted by having their own little dessert.

Recipe serves 4-6 people

Apple filling
10-12 medium organic apples, peeled, cored and diced (we like to use Fuji and Granny smith)
The juice of 2 lemons
1 tbsp organic cinnamon
1 tsp organic ground cloves
1 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
1/3 c organic sugar
2 tbsp organic flour
2 oz of organic butter cubed
Toss apples in lemon juice, set aside. Mix all the dry ingredients and add to apples together with butter mix to combine.
Divide mixture into individual oven proof ramekins, cover apples with crisp topping and place on a sheet pan.
Bake at 375 F for 30-40 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Serve warm.

Crisp Topping
1 cup organic AP flour
1/2 cup organic oats
1/2 c organic brown sugar
1 tsp organic cinnamon
1/2 tsp organic ginger powder

Mix all ingredients in a mixer with the paddle attachment or the food processor until it becomes crumbly - Don't over mix.
