Stir Fry and Apple Crumble

When it's me and my man cooking, dessert always follows dinner

We started with an Asian Stir Fry

We cooked the vegetables in Sweet and Sour 

Sauce with Chicken on a bed of Jasmine Rice

We both ate a couple bowls each, fighting over who gets the most veggies

Then came dessert, Homemade Apple Crumble

It's the easiest thing to make. You just slice an apple and stick it in a 

baking dish, and throw it in the oven at 350 Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes

Then add a crumble of oats, brown sugar, a little margarine
 and cinnamon, placing back in the oven for 15-20 minutes

Serves 2 hungry people

I love the blend of hot oatmeal paired with

 stewed berries and a spoonful of brown sugar
