Today we took our annual trip to the apple orchard. This is a trip we have taken for the last five years and it always ends with homemade apple pies!

I wanted to clean up my apple treat a little bit and opted for an apple crisp. This is whole grain, a little lower in fat and sugar than your traditional apple crisp, but still very much a treat!

Filling:

  • 6 Cups apples chopped (about 6 large apples)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened apple butter
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Topping:

  • 3/4 rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup oat flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/8 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Stir together syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and apples. Pour into a 2 quart baking dish. In a separate dish mix together your oats, flour, honey, brown sugar and spices. Pour oil over top and stir until crumbly. Spread over apple mixture.

Bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes!

And nope, the ice cream on top is not healthy, good old Bryers 😉
