Ingredients
  

  • 1 apple, peeled and sliced
  • ¼ tsp vanilla
  • 3 tbsp cold butter, cut into chunks
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar 
  • 3 tbsp old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉.
  • Grease a 2-cup, oven-safe dish and put the apples in it. Sprinkle apples with vanilla.
  • In a small bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, rolled oats, flour and cinnamon. Top the apples with this mixture.
  • Bake until the apples are soft, about 20 minutes*.   Place under the broiler for a few moments if additional browning of the top is desired.
  • Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.
  • *It’s fine to use whatever type of apple you have on-hand but different apples have different textures and therefore require slightly different cooking times.
  • Hack: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Hack: Make some extra streusel topping to keep in the refrigerator to make a quick apple crisp whenever you want one!
  • Hack: Level up your crisp by adding raisins or dried cranberries to the apple mixture. Or add some chopped nuts to the topping!

Calories 150 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • cup cold mashed potatoes (without added milk and butter)
  • ¾ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 8 oz dark chocolate candy coating (or candy melts), coarsely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Combine the sugar, shredded coconut, mashed potatoes, vanilla, and salt using a stand mixer or hand mixer.
  • Spray 18 ice cube trays** with cooking spray and divide the dough equally between them (about 1 ½ tbsp each). Place another ice cube tray on top of cups and press down firmly to pack dough down.
  • Place in the freezer for 2-3 hours or until solid. Remove candy pieces from trays.
  • Place chocolate coating in a dry, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second blasts, stirring in between each blast, just until melted.
  • Use tongs to dip and coat candy pieces. Place pieces on parchment paper or rack, leaving enough space between them that they don’t touch. Allow chocolate coating to harden.
  • **I use “poppable” ice cube trays with silicone bottoms!
  • Hack: Store leftover candy in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
