One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving is the leftovers. Especially the leftover desserts. When I was a kid, the morning after Thanksgiving and Christmas we'd be allowed to have a slice of pumpkin pie or a scoop of apple crisp for breakfast. My normally healthy eating mother permitted this sugary deviation from the norm by focusing on the fruit or squash used to make the dessert and not the butter and sugar.
To this day, I love to ladle out a big scoop of apple crisp into a soup bowl for breakfast after Thanksgiving. I'll nuke it for a minute, just to take the refrigerator chill away, and top it with a spoonful of plain yogurt. It's the very best version of fruit, granola and yogurt you've ever had and it makes it possible to eat leftovers for every single meal of the day.
If you're looking for a good recipe for apple crisp, check out the one I made on the last episode of Slashfood in the Kitchen.
