Peterson Farms, Inc. has come up with a ready to assemble meal kit for an apple crisp desert, sold in the refrigerated section of your grocer. The desert kit contains 1 pound of peeled and sliced apples, 8 ounces of crumb topping, and a 3.2 ounce spice packet. You just mix the apples and spices in a baking dish, cover with the crumb topping, and bake for six ample servings. I looked up the nutrition information and was impressed that the levels of sodium (120mg) and fat (9gm) for a 4.5 ounce serving were reasonable and it has no cholesterol and plenty of vitamin C (60%rda). Peterson Farms claims that this is the first meal assembly kit that comes with peeled and sliced apples. This is the same company that provided the peeled and cut apples for McDonalds Apple Dippers. I haven't tasted this product but will try it. The two minute assembly time sure beats the 15 minutes I take once a week to prep my own from scratch. Of course with mine I use Honey-Crisp and Winesap apples grown locally and just picked fresh. But for those pressed for time and wanting a hot, fresh cooked desert, this may be a great product.
