monday munchies / mini apple & blueberry cobbler

for those late night cravings...

ingredients:

crumble top

1/2 cup flour

1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal (optional for some extra fiber)

1/4 cup of brown sugar

2.5 tablespoons of sugar

4 tablespoons of butter (cold and diced)

a few shakes of cinnamon

fruit bottom

1 apple peeled and diced

1 cup of blueberries

preheat oven to: 350 degrees

this makes enough love for 2-3 people. depending on the size of your ceramic dish (this one pictured is 4" and makes two.) for the crumble top, the trick is to add butter last. throw all your dry ingredients in a bowl. chop up your butter and knead the butter into the dry mix with your hands until its crumbly and all mixed in. spray / grease your ceramic dishes, add your fruit evenly. top with delish sugary crumble. bake for 20-25 min. let cool for a more crunchy crust.. if you can..
