    How to Plan a Holiday Dessert

    1. Choose something easy that can be made ahead
    2. Choose something that travels well and grab good, sturdy dishes
    3. Small batches or a big group? Either way, think about the type of people you will be feeding
    4. Choose a well balanced, not overly sweet dish like this Apple Crisp
    5. Choose a classic that will please all types of taste buds

    What dessert is recommended?

    You can't go wrong with a pie! Especially my grandmother's chocolate pie. But, if you are a newbie and you really want a crowd pleasing, easy recipe, an apple crisp is prefect! Or, of course, a chocolate chip cookie (never disappoints)!

    Healthier Apple Crisp

    Apple Crisp has always been a favorite dessert of mine! In this updated recipe of a traditional favorite, I reduced the sugar to only ½ cup to allow for a healthier version that is still full of flavor!

    Start by cutting up the apples, tossing them in lemon juice, and placing them in some ramekins.

    chopped apples

    From there, mix the streusel topping together and spoon on top of the apples. Then, bake it! That's it! The easy and simple nature of this dessert makes it a favorite weeknight treat.

    Add to a Holiday Table

    This is my favorite holiday dessert because it isn't overly sweet. It's the perfect balance for the end of a great and hearty meal. This dish was served in a small ramekin with ice cream piled high on my Vietri Plates. I got Vietri as my wedding "china" and it really has a heavy, pottery feel that I love. The salad plate size is perfect for a holiday meal, too!

    Dishes that Travel

    Pack it in a few CorningWare dishes for a durable but cute travel option. Take it to a Friendsgiving in a large casserole dish or the small ramekins.

    • In another bowl, mix together the ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup oat flour, ½ cup oats, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Using your fingers, mix in the coconut oil in until well combined with the dry ingredients. Spoon about ¼ cup topping onto each ramekin.
