When I was in grade school and even high school, my favorite school bought dessert was their homemade apple crisp. It was a super simple apple dessert but really tasted great. I would quite often request homemade apple crisp because it was such a tasty after dinner treat too.

Since my family really looks forward to dessert after our family meals, I like to have our desserts made during the day when the kiddos are at school. I can usually whip something quite quickly while the baby naps. When the big kids arrive home from school, the house always has a yummy scent that gets them excited for after dinner dessert.
