Skinny Apple Crisp

Image

This weekend I chose to make an apple crisp for Sunday nights dessert. But of course I wanted to come up with a healthy version of this popular treat so there would be no guilt in eating it. I like to call my version of apple crisp a skinny apple crisp, as it is free of butter, and any sort of refined sugar, It is also gluten free and vegan so a wide range of people are free to enjoy it! The ingredients used are all ones you should be able to find in your pantry, I hope you enjoy this healthy dessert. 

Ingredients: 

6 large apples

2 tsp. cinnamon 

1 tsp. nutmeg

3 tbsp. honey + 3 tbsp. natural maple syrup 

1 1/3 cups gluten free oats

2/3 cups almond flour 

1 tsp. baking soda

 1tsp. baking powder

pinch of salt

4 tbsp. melted coconut oil

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Combine apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, 1 tbsp. honey and 1 tbsp. maple syrup in a bowl, mix well. Place apple mixture into a 8x 11inch baking pan and bake for 10 minutes.

2. While the apples are baking combine remaining 2 tbsp. honey, 2 tbsp. maple syrup, oats, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and  coconut oil in a bowl. After 10 minutes take the apples out of the oven, place oat mixture on top ad baking for another 15-20 minutes ( until top is golden brown).
