Instant Crumble Desserts

Everyone knows I love Crumble desserts.  Apple Crumbles, Blueberry Crumbles, Raspberry Crumbles and so on.  All are amazingly delicious and relatively easy to make.  Originally, I was using a pre-made mix with cinnamon, sugar and oatmeal to make my crumbles. 

Howevever, I realized that using a flavored Oatmeals such as Quaker Instant Oatmeal adds a lot of flavor to a Crumble.  So,  I  decided to use one package of an Instant Oatmeal, 1 tsp of cinnamon, 1 tbls of butter chopped into pieces and blended with a fruit of choice.  For this recipe, I used the French Vanilla Instant Oatmeal and one Granny Smith Apple per bag of oatmeal. Fresh whipping cream sweetened with honey was made to enhance to experience.

One Granny Smith Apple per packet of oatmeal.

Peel and cut the apple into small pieces.

Blend, oatmeal, butter pieces and cinnamon together.

Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Whipped up heavy cream with honey.

The final product.

Absolutely yummy!

Back for Panera Hot Chocolate

With my business trip ending the next day, last Saturday was the last time I could seek out a good cup of hot chocolate. So, I went back to Panera. Time was tight but I needed a fix. Since I was eating breakfast at the restaurant I had my cup of power chocolate there.

Ohhh! What a good decision. Take a look at that picture. I was served another wonderful cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream this time. An extra added bonus was the syrup on top. Normally, I wish to enjoy my chocolate straight up. However, this was going to be a long day on the tradeshow floor so I needed all the chocolate I could get.

I have one word for this indulgence….FABULOUS!
