Apple Crisp

Here’s a delicious compromise for our traditional high fat and high sugar apple crisp.  This recipe is adapted from www.diabetesfoodhub.org.  It still uses a little bit of brown sugar so if you have issues with sugar, make sure you follow the portion size (1/2 cup per serving).
Ingredients:

• 5 large granny smith apples, peeled and sliced
• ½ cup filtered water
• ¼ cup whole wheat flour
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup rolled oats
• 2 Tbs. grapeseed oil or organic safflower/sunflower oil
•  1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Method:

1. Peel, core and slice your apples.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Add ½ cup filtered water to a 9x9 inch deep pan.
3. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, oats, oil, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla.  Blend with a fork until crumbly.
4. Layer the apples in the pan and sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the top.  Bake for 30 minutes.
