All Natural Apple Crisp

Submitted by Isabeau

"With the crisp, autumn weather comes the apple harvest! Surrounded by perfect, juicy apples, I had to come up with some way to make a sugar-free apple crisp. Here is what we ended up with, using natural sweeteners, instead of processed sugar."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 1 1 crisp
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 5 -6 apples, cored and peeled
• 1 cup oats (quick-cooking or other)
• 4 tablespoons shortening
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (i really mean maple cream, but it is not recognizing ingredient)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F Place apples in a greased 9x9 pan. Combine oats, shortening, and flour in a bowl. Cut with pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add honey and maple cream. Top apples with oat mixture. Bake until browned and bubbly, 25-35 minutes. Serve warm with a latté, instead of ice cream.
