Healthy Apple Crisp for Two
If you're looking for something sweet to share with your honey tonight, look no further than this delicious and healthy apple crisp. With less than 2 tablespoons of sugar per serving and a crisp loaded with whole grain oats and wheat germ, you could even eat this for breakfast!
Ingredients
- 1 lb Apples firm and tart variety
- 2 tablespoon Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg freshly grated is preferred
- 1 tablespoon Corn Starch
- ½ Lemon zested and juiced
Crumble Topping
- ¼ C Rolled Oats
- 1 Tbsp Wheat Germ toasted
- 2 teaspoon Brown Sugar
- 2 teaspoon Butter cold, + more for greasing pan
- 1 tablespoon Pecans minced
Instructions
- Peel and medium dice the apples. In mixing bowl, sprinkle them with sugar and spices, then mix to coat. Allow apples to macerate for 20-30 minutes, until they have released their juices.
- Make crumble by mixing together all ingredients with a fork. If necessary, use your hands to rub into crumbly pieces.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Butter your cooking pan. Add lemon juice, lemon zest and starch to apples. Stir to coat. Evenly distribute between pans. Top with crumble topping.
- Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes, until top is golden and apples syrup is bubbling. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or a squirt of whipped cream. Enjoy!
Notes
- Vegan? Swap out coconut oil or vegan butter
- Allergic to corn? Swap out ground flaxseed for the cornstarch
- Any apples will work, but I prefer tart, firm varieties such as Fuji, Honeycrisp or Gravenstein
