                     With my family's hectic schedule, I cook for one quite frequently,  relates field editor Sherry Krenz from Woodworth, North Dakota (at left).  My Mini Apple Crisp is so simple to make. I works equally well as a nice single-serving dessert for me or as an afternoon snack when our oldest son gets home from school.  Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 medium apple, peeled and sliced  |  
                                                1 tablespoon king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour  |  
                                                2 tablespoons brown sugar  |  
                                                1 tablespoon butter  |  
                                                2 tablespoons quick-cooking oats  |  
                                                1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon  |  
                                                cream, optional  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Place apple slices in a small greased baking dish. In a small bowl, combine flour and brown sugar; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add oats and cinnamon. Sprinkle over apple slices. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until tender. Serve with cream if desired.                              |
