Healthy Apple Crisp

 

This Healthy Apple Crisp is one of the easiest desserts you can make for the holidays. It’s not only gluten-free and vegan but it is also refined sugar-free.

I peel and chop the apples, tossed with maple syrup, tapioca starch, and spices. I then place filling in a prepared baking dish and topped with oatmeal and almond meal mixture.

I love to use Bob’s Red Mill Old Fashioned Gluten-Free Rolled Oats because it is certified Gluten-Free where each batch is produced and tested in a gluten-free facility.

I love to serve it warm topped with a vegan ice cream during cold winter evenings. Eating apple crisps takes me back to my years living in England, where I enjoyed rhubarb crumbles and ice cream. The rhubarb for the crumble was grown in the garden and freshly picked. 

My Berry Crisp is another variation of mouthwatering crisp or  how about a delicious apple treat, Apple Crumble Muffins.
