It's not low fat, nor low calorie, but MAN will it satisfy that chocolate craving! Very rich so a little goes a long way, but make this one when you've got plenty of mouths to make sure every last morsel disappears and so you don't eat the entire pan by yourself!

Crisps are a quick and easy dessert. I like to use whatever fruit is in season: blueberries, strawberries, peaches, cherries, plums, pears, and apples.

I use two cups of fruit in this recipe so that each person gets a full serving of fruit, but when you buy berries they come in pints. One pint of berries yields about 1 1/2 cups. That means you're either a half-cup short or you need to buy two and have a cup leftover. Save the extra berries for your morning cereal, freeze them for smoothies--or just add them to the crisp. The more fruit, the merrier.

You can use frozen (no need to thaw before baking) or fresh fruit in this recipe.

Serve any leftovers atop plain yogurt for breakfast.

O.K. 2.0/5

I'm a sucker for a good slice of pie. The trouble with baking pies is that then there is an entire pie lurking on the counter or in the fridge. And when there's a whole pie to tempt you, portion control is difficult.
My pint-sized apple pies, adapted from a recipe from my mom, solves that problem: They're instantly portion controlled. Plus, little ones can easily help.
