Low-Calorie Apple Crisp Recipe
Need a Low-Calorie alternative for Apple Crisp? I have the perfect recipe!
When I was cleaning out the fridge while making dinner over the last weekend I came across 4 apples in the back on a shelf that weren’t exactly good for eating fresh – but plenty good enough to cook with. For some reason I had my mind set on Apple Crisp, but I wanted to make it as healthy as possible. In end I created a decadent dessert that anyone would think was as good or better tasting than real sugar-laden syrupy dripping Apple Crisp – but it was actually good for you too!
Here’s what you’ll need for ingredients:
- 4 apples
- 3-4 tbsp margarine
- 1 cup dry oats (oatmeal)
- 2 tbsp Xylitol
- 12 large marshmallows
- Ground Cinnamon and Nutmeg to taste
This is a VERY easy and quick recipe to make. Peel and core your apples. Lay the slices in an ungreased baking dish, about 9×9. Melt the margarine on top of the oats in the microwave (about 35 seconds on high). When they come out, add the Xylitol sugar substitute and mix well. Be sure not to use any other sugar substitute such as NutraSweet or Splenda – they don’t bake well and have an awful aftertastest. Xylitol is an all natural one for one sugar substitue with no aftertaste at all that tastes exactly like sugar! Drizzle the oats mixture over the apples evenly. Sprinkle apples liberally with ground cinnamon and sparingly with ground nutmeg. Place marshmallows evenly on top of the apples. Bake on 350 for 25 minutes, and when you remove from the oven the mixture should be bubbly – and the marshmallows will be a nice golden brown and just slightly crispy on the edges!
