Healthified Apple Crisp (1 Bowl!)
Description
Healthified Apple Crisp (1 Bowl!) features thinly sliced granny smith and honeycrisp apples coated with lemon juice, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and arrowroot for a lightly thickened filling. The topping blends rolled oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, pecans, cinnamon, salt, and coconut oil to create a nutty, crumbly crust that crisps up in the oven. Baking at 350°F for about 45-55 minutes softens the apples to fork tenderness while browning the topping golden brown. The resulting dessert offers a textured contrast between tender fruit and a crunchy, flavored crust.
This apple crisp can be served warm on its own or enhanced with coconut whipped cream or a scoop of almond or peanut butter for added protein, making it adaptable to different taste preferences or dietary needs. Due to the nature of the ingredients, it stores well refrigerated for up to three days, and freezing is an option for longer keeping.
Choosing a mix of tart and sweet apples helps balance the flavors, while arrowroot ensures the filling thickens without added heaviness. Adjusting the coconut sugar amount allows control over sweetness depending on apple ripeness. Preparing and tossing in one bowl simplifies the process, reducing dishes to wash.
Ingredients
APPLES
- 2 ripe, apple crisp, 1 tart, 1 sweet, peeled, cored, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp water
- 2-3 Tbsp coconut sugar (depending on sweetness of apples)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp arrowroot or cornstarch
TOPPING
- 2/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup almond flour (or almond meal)
- 3 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 1/3 cup pecan chopped, raw
- 1 dash salt sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and set out an 8” x 8” baking pan (or something similar).
- To a medium mixing bowl, add sliced apples and top with remaining filling ingredients. Toss to combine. Transfer apple mixture to the baking pan and pour any remaining liquid over the apples.
- Wipe out your mixing bowl and add all topping ingredients. Stir to combine, then use fingers to break down any clumps of sugar. Sprinkle over apples in an even layer.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes (uncovered) or until the filling is bubbly, the apples are very fork tender (especially in the center of the dish), and the topping is a deep golden brown.
- Let rest 5 minutes before serving. This crisp is delicious as is, but is elevated with coconut whipped cream or a big scoop of almond or peanut butter for added protein!
- Leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days or in the freezer up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave or in a 350 degree F (176C) oven until warmed through.
Notes
- Use a mix of tart and sweet apples to balance flavor and texture.
- Adjust coconut sugar to taste, considering the natural sweetness of your apples.
- This crisp keeps covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and freezes well for up to 1 month.
- For extra richness, serve with coconut whipped cream or almond/peanut butter.
- Use arrowroot or cornstarch as a natural thickener for the filling.
