Lazy Fresh Apple Crisp (No-Bake)

Submitted by Keggy

"I believe I saw this recipe idea from a raw foods website. Eating a plain apple for a snack was becoming a bit boring. This recipe satisfied my sweet tooth while still being healthy. Plus it uses simple ingredients I always have in my pantry, and it's easily adaptable."

 

• Ready In: 5mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 1-2

ingredients

• 1 apple (I prefer Gala or Granny Smith, but you can use whatever you like)
• drizzle honey (optional) or agave nectar (optional)
• 1⁄8 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1⁄16 teaspoon cloves or 1/16 teaspoon allspice
• 1⁄2 cup oats (Old fashioned or quick cooking both work well)
• 1⁄8 cup raisins
• 1⁄8 cup chopped dates
• 1⁄8 cup sliced almonds or 1/8 cup chopped walnuts, Pecans

directions

1. 1. Clean & chop apple into chunks. (I usually quarter the apple, then slice the quarters into 1/2" bites.).
2. 2. Place apple chunks in a small bowl. Sprinkle with cinnamon and cloves, or allspice. Stir to distribute spices.
3. 3. You may drizzle honey or agave over the apples if desired. Stir. (It helps the oats & nuts to stick a little better, but I've made it without before and it's fine.)
4. 4. Add in raisins, dates (and/or whatever dried fruit you may like), and nuts. The above quantities are just a guess, I usually just use a handful of raisins & nuts.
5. 5. Stir & enjoy.
