Oh hidy ho internet, I've had a doozy of a week

Because my blog is new, I would like to keep it updated at least once a week but I made an exemption last week due to my impromptu hospital. Nothing too serious or scary, but it did involve a tetanus shot and 8 pills a day. You know what internet, I don't know you well enough to get into all this right now. I'll just say that I'm still feeling a little woozy so if something in this post doesn't make sense, please, just don't be an ass about it.

So, one of my hospital visits (2 in total, the one relevant to this story is the second one) was also my husbands birthday. I know right! I felt like such a jerk. To make it up to him I wanted to bake him something super tasty. Cake takes way to much effort to make when your aren't feeling the best and also he doesn't really like it all the much anyway. What he does like is fruit. Pretty much anything with fruit. We have an apple tree in our yard that I cant wait to pick and make into something. But for now I want to share this.
Made big for easy reading.
It says cherry but I swear it works with every fruit I've tried. Super duper easiest recipe ever, but it tastes like it took all day. Oh, the mystical magic that takes place in my oven. Step one, take everything that isn't fruit and shake the babies out of it.
a.k.a stir with a big wooden spoon
That looks so pretty I could just stop there. I mean, look at those crumbles! They are perfect! Okay now I'm bragging but still, damn! Step one is easily the hardest step of the whole process, unless not eating it straight out of the oven is a step. But like I said this is the super easiest recipe ever so even the hardest step is still a cake walk. Step two is take that shit and smash it into a crust shape in the bottom of a pan. I didn't even grease the pan or anything. Oh, but don't use all of it because you need some for the top. Also I didn't think to take a picture of step two, I was pretty passy outy at the time.  So let's skip straight to Step Three! 
Pictured: not cherries
Now, Normally I don't really enjoy taking short cuts. I like baking because its putting effort into something that a lot of other people don't take the time too. I try to justify the use of canned apples in my head by adding some extra spices. I know the picture at the top says cherry crumble but seriously every fruit works. It just happens to be apples this time. Also I use Comstock fruit for no other reason than it reminds me of Bioshock Infinite. I'm pretty sure I'm just wasting time now. So crust, fruit, crumbles, oven, eat a snack. Then hopefully you get this.
 There you have it. A wonderfully delicious apple crumble for my wonderful husbands birthday. I'm getting a little scattered now towards the end of this so I will unfortunately have to skip the quotes this time. There were some good ones though. Oh and bee tee dubs, since I know you are wondering, Yes I did put a candle in it. Here comes the proof!
Also we played minecraft
That's what I make for dessert but for lunch today, I shit you not I had a lunchable. Don't let anyone tell you that baking and cooking are the same thing. You know what, no regrets! That lunchable was fucking amazing. They really ramped that shit up since the 90's. Actually I enjoyed it so much it's going to be my thing for today. LINK!
