Clean Apple Crisp

Apple crisp has to be one of my favorite desserts. It's a comfort food, it's delicious, and if you think about it - it contains two main ingredients that the body thrives on. Substitute a few of the other ingredients for healthier options, and you have a much more nutritional way to enjoy this comfort food. Apples and oats are some of my everyday staples for food. As I was planning my menu for this upcoming week, I remembered I had apples I needed to use before they went bad. The apple crisp idea immediately came to me. This is a cleaner way to make it. It may not taste as sweet and fabulous as you grew up with, but since it is such a healthier alternative, it's worth it.

• 6-8 apples  (I love green apples)
• 1 cup of health oats
• 1 cup of unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
• 2 tablespoons of light butter 
• Ground cinnamon
• 1/3 cup of Stevia or sugar substitute of choice
• 1/2 cup of light brown sugar or brown sugar splenda
• 3 tablespoons of oat/coconut/almond/wheat flour
• Optional: almond silvers or any type of nut
• Optional: protein powder
• Optional: 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

What you do:

• Preheat over to 350 degrees
• Slice apples
• Mix Stevia, cinnamon, and a tablespoon of flour all together in a small bowl.

• Spray pan of choice with nonstick spray
• Place apples along the bottom of pan
• Sprinkle dry ingredients over apples
• Pour half a cup of unsweetened almond milk over apples and sweetened mixture.
• In a medium-large sized bowl mix oats, half a cup of almond milk, 2 tablespoons of flour, light brown sugar, butter, and any other optional ingredients you wish to add
• Pour mixture over top of the apples - the mixture should be bettwen thick and creamy to crumbled. 

• Bake for 45-55 minutes. I usually bake longer because I like the apples really soft.
• Enjoy!
