Healthier Apple Crisp

 

This takes 4 very large apples and I highly recommend adding the toasted pecans to the topping. – Jenny Jones

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

Makes: 4-6 servings

Ingredients:

Topping:

• • 1/2 cup rolled oats

  • 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour (all purpose flour works too)

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil (cold butter works too)

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped toasted pecans (optional)

Apple Filling:

• 3 Tablespoons white sugar

• 1 Tablespoon all purpose flour

• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

• 7 cups (2 pounds) Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored & cut into 1/2 to 1-inch chunks

Instructions:

Topping:

1. 1. Preheat oven to 375° F.

   2. Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, & cinnamon in a bowl.

   3. Mix in oil using your fingers. Take time until it gets a bit clumpy.

   4. Add pecans, if using, and set aside.

Apple Filling:

1. Combine sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a plastic bag (I use a soft produce bag).

2. Add apples and shake the bag until apples are coated.

3. Place apples into an 8×8-inch square or 9-inch round pan and top with oat mixture..

4. Bake for 35 minutes. It’s best served while still warm.

Note: To replace the oil in the topping with butter, use cold, cubed butter and mix it in with you fingers until crumbly and refrigerate while you prep the apples.
