Jodi's Single Serving Apple Crisp

Source: http://www.byu199.blogspot.com/2013/03/apple-crisp-for-one-chef-jodi.html

Ingredients

Filling:
1 apple, peeled and thickly sliced
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cornstarch

Crisp Topping:
1-1/2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp oats
2 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Directions

Filling: In a small mixing bowl combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Massage the dry ingredients into the sliced apples with your hands. Place apple mixture in a microwavable bowl, cover with plastic wrap (folding some back to vent it), and microwave for 4 minutes. Meanwhile, make topping.

Topping: Heat a small frying pan on med-high and fry ingredients for the crisp topping until it is a dark golden brown (3ish minutes). Stir constantly so it doesn't burn. Add crisp topping to filling and top with vanilla ice cream, of course.

Notes

Easy & delicious. Also a dinner group recipe. 

Otai

Source: http://polynesiankitchen.blogspot.com/2008/02/my-mamas-watermelon-otai-recipe_9555.html

Ingredients

1 ripe seedless watermelon
1 can crushed pineapple
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 can coconut milk
Water (variable to taste)
1/2 cup sugar (variable to taste)
1/2 fresh lime squeezed (optional)

Directions

Cut the watermelon in half, use a fork to scrape out the insides. You want it to be pretty much mush. To the mushy watermelon juice mix, add the crushed pineapple. I recommend lots of pineapple of various sizes of chunks, and the coconut, coconut milk, sugar, and water. Refrigerate it nice and good.


Notes

This is a Polynesian drink I learned to make in Hawaii. My version is different than the source a bit, I highly recommend my version. You chew this while you drink it. I know, it looks like throw up. It is very tasty though, and could be healthy depending on how much sugar you added. 

Hershey's Kisses Peanut Butter Cookies of Doom

(see source for detailed directions, nutrition facts, and suggestions)

I purposefully make the directions cripplingly simple so that you'll visit the source.

Source: http://baking.food.com/recipe/hersheys-kisses-peanut-butter-surprise-cookies-213673

Ingredients

70 Hershey's kisses (the type with peanut butter in the middle)
1/2 cup butter or margarine, soften
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons corn syrup (it calls for light, but forget that. Trust me, if you're eating these cookies health is the last thing on your mind)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups flour
1/8 tsp salt

Directions

Call your doctor and have him talk you out of this. If you still want to proceed, beat the butter and peanut butter in a bowl really well. I said butter twice in that sentence, turn back now. Stir the flour, soda, and salt up and add it to the mix. Heat oven to 350 and make the dough into balls, with a hershey's kiss in the center of each ball. Roll in sugar and bake them on a ungreased pan (there's enough grease in the cookies to grease the pan for you) Bake them for 10 minutes or until golden brown at edges. Take them out and let them cool a bit, then stick a hershey's kiss on top, and melt MORE hershey's kisses and drizzle them on top. Eat, enjoy, renew gym membership.

Notes

Supposedly about 10 of these is the same amount of sugar as a soda. (without the extra kiss on top and the drizzle) Soda is awful. These are delicious. 9/10 solely on taste.

Sopapilla Cheesecake

(see source for detailed directions, nutrition facts, and suggestions)

I purposefully make the directions cripplingly simple so that you'll visit the source.

Source: http://www.food.com/recipe/crescent-sopaipilla-sopapilla-cheesecake-88420

Ingredients

2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese
2 packages of refrigerated crescent rolls
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract or almond extract
1/2 cup margarine or butter melted
1/2 cup cinnamon sugar

Directions

Grease the bottom of a baking pan, spread a package of crescent rolls on the bottom. Try to make it like a giant sheet with no holes that is pretty flat. Mix together the cream cheese, sugar, extract, and spread it over the rolls. Put the other package of crescent rolls layed out like the bottom layer but on top. Pour the melted butter on top (may use much much less) and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, bake for 30 mins at 350.

Notes

The double ll's make a long e sound. If you call it "so-puh-pill-uh" cheesecake, I will laugh at you. Also I use way less butter. That amount is way excessive. This stuff will probably kill you. It is so unhealthy that it's ludicrous. It is also insanely delicious. 10/10 based purely on taste and ease.
