This easy and healthy apple crisp recipe is perfect for enjoying dessert guilt-free. No one will notice that it is skinny with no butter and white sugar. So trick your family and friends and feed them this healthy dessert.
This time I deliberately wanted to make apple crisp for dessert. And, if it is homemade it needs to be healthy or at least have a healthy twist. This is the prime reason I never liked the one I bought from the store. Its loaded with enormous amounts of butter and sugar. And, I found it too sweet for my taste.
After a couple of trials in the kitchen, I finally came up with a healthy apple crisp recipe that I am going to share with you. It is very easy to prepare and you can get it to the table in less than an hour. Its preparation is pretty quick and most of the time it will sit in the oven.
Easy Healthy Apple Crisp Recipe!
For the base, you will need fresh apples. For this recipe, I used granny smith apples. You can use other varieties too if you like something different. If the apples you decide to use are sweeter thenthere is no need to add any sweeteners. Dice apples into small sizes and then mix with cinnamon, cornstarch, and sweetener. Layer it into oven-safe casserole dish.
For the toppings, in a medium bowl, mix rolled oats, whole wheat flour, almond butter, crushed pecans, desiccated coconut, agave or honey and some oil. Spread this oat streusel over the apples and bake in a preheated oven to perfection. Serve this delicious warm skinny apple crisp with the scoop of vanilla ice cream or bananaice cream.
Next time when you throw a party at your home,try this easy apple crisp for a light dessert. I am sure no one will notice that it is healthy.
HelpfulTips!
- Choose firm green apples without any dents or spots. Use organic variety whenever possible.
- Use apple corer slicer for even cutting and quick prepping. I find this little tool very effective when it comes to cutting apples. It’s completely optional and you can definitely use a knife to cut and dice the apples if you do not have this apple slicer.
