12 Perfectly Romantic Desserts for Two

From chocolate to cupcakes to cobbler, you are sure to find the perfect dessert in just the right portion size for a date night-in with these 12 Perfectly Romantic Desserts for Two...

Even though I put together this little round-up of delicious desserts with a certain upcoming romantic holiday in mind, I am here to tell you all that this collection of desserts for two isn't just for the love birds or romantic date nights at home. I mean, recipes for desserts for two can have so many other perfectly acceptable uses. 

Like, you have had a really long week. Like really long. And you want to splurge on a sweet treat, but find the idea of eating an entire pan of brownies or a dozen cookies a little ridiculous.

Or maybe you are in the mood for a sweet treat, but don't feel like having a ton of leftover cake or cobbler tempting you all weekend long. 

I mean, it is hard to let such tasty goodies just go to waste, right? 

Or forget the husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc altogether! How about a dessert perfect for a girls' night in with your bestie? 

So please banish the idea from your head that you must be part of a couple in order to truly appreciate and enjoy these 12 Perfectly Romantic Desserts for Two! ;)

I carefully collected these dessert for two recipes from some of my favorite food blogs to make sure there was a little something in here to please just about everyone's sweet tooth. 

From chocolate (because duh!) to cupcakes to cobbler, you are sure to find the perfect dessert in just the right portion size for a date night-in, to smooth over a rough week, or to round out that upcoming girls' night...

Cookie Butter Apple Crisp {For Two}

Cookie Butter Week is about to come to a close on the blog.  (Yes, I know... *sad face*.) We must all do this again some time very soon, don't you agree? ;)  Stay tuned for a Cookie Butter Week Recap post tomorrow morning. 

I will leave you with one final original recipe using cookie butter, my Cookie Butter Apple Crisps for Two.  Apple crisp and apple pie are my husband's absolute favorite desserts (well, along with carrot cake, cheesecake, and red velvet cake. ;) )You could easily double or triple this recipe for feeding larger crowds. 

This was my first go at baking in glass jars.  Have you all tried this before?  It is actually pretty cool.  You just have to make sure to place the jars in a baking pan with a little water in the bottom to prevent the glass from breaking.  

Cookie Butter Apple Crisp {For Two}

by Frugal Foodie Mama

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

6048794

Ingredients (2 servings)

For the apple filling

• 1 large apple (or 2 smaller apples), peeled, cored, and chopped
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp flour
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 2-3 dashes of nutmeg

For the cookie butter crisp

• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/4 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp chilled butter, cubed
• 2 tbsp cookie butter
• 1 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

In a small bowl, combine the apples through the nutmeg for the apple filling. Set aside.

In another small bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, cinnamon, and brown sugar for the crisp topping. Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture is crumbly. Now mix in the cookie butter. Set aside.

Spray the insides of two 12 oz glass jars with cooking spray. Evenly distribute the apple filling between the two jars. Now top each jar with the cookie butter crisp dough.

Place both filled jars in a baking pan and fill with about an inch of water.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the apples are bubbly and the crisp topping is golden brown.

All to cool to warm before serving.

Top with whipped cream or ice cream, if you wish.

These Cookie Butter Apple Crisps in jars were perfect for just the husband and I.  We have my son every other week, so there are evenings when desserts (and dinners) for two make sense for us.  When I do share one of my recipes meant for two, I try to make sure that the ingredient list can be easily double or tripled for larger families. :)
