Apple Crisp

FitSugar reader AllieNic gives apple crisp a healthy makeover by making it grain- and dairy-free. She shared the recipe in our Healthy Recipe community group.

I love apples; they're beautiful and delicious! A few weeks ago, I took a trip up to Vermont to visit family — we went apple picking, so I whipped up some apple crisp (apple crumble). I remember loving the apple crisp we used to get with elementary school lunches, but this recipe is decidedly more healthy: grain-free and dairy-free!

It's harvest time for apples and pears, and nothing says Autumn like warm crisp featuring both Fall fruits. Here is a variation of a recipe from RecipeZaar. I substituted a few things like Sucanat for brown sugar, whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, and Earth Balance margarine in place of butter. The soft, cinnamony fruit and crunchy oat topping are a perfect combination, and it was so delicious that my family polished off the entire crisp within a day.

This would make a great dessert for Thanksgiving, because it's a cinch to whip up. To see the recipe read more
