It’s the freakin’ weekend, which means you should not be awake early enough for breakfast. Sleep in. It’s all about brunch.
Brunch is one of those meals that calls for a dessert. Breakfast? Sometimes we eat dessert for breakfast, but it never gets its own sweet ending. Lunch? Only if we're eating out, and even then it's rare to see a post-sandwich treat. But when the two are combined into that revelrous, boozy weekend franken-meal, dessert is practically a necessity. Can we call it "bressert?" Yes, we think we can.
And this weekend, we're going with one of fall's best desserts: Apple crisp. You can choose to do a bare-bones apple crisp—or an alterna-crisp—but we're pimping ours out with caramel and whipped cream. It's a great companion for a cup of joe, and it's got those coffee cake-like cinnamon-y flavors that makes it almost alright to eat in the morning. And hey, we're still looking for more ways to use up all the apples that keep pouring in by the bushel. What better way to use 'em than for bressert?
