Breakfast
Apple Granola Crisp
From Smitten Kitchen
|
"This crisp is supposed to be the fall answer to my beloved breakfast apricot crisp. I maintain that baked fruit crisps needn’t just be dessert food and if you’re only having them after dinner, you’re missing out. The trick is to dial back the sugar significantly, keep the topping as granola-like as possible and eat it cold, first thing in the morning, with a generous helping of your favorite yogurt on top."

They will only have pre-made arrangements this week, no more custom arrangements for the year.
