Apple Crisp - Individual Servings

If you are like us you like your apple crisp nice and warm when you eat it.  I find that the left overs from a big dish warmed up the next day tends to over cook the apples and can get pretty mushy.

So I came up with a way to make individual servings.

This is perfect for me and my husband.  It is fast and easy and baked fresh - can't get any better than this.

I have make a few changes to the traditional recipe, as you will note there is no sugar or butter in this one.

Apple Crisp - Individual Servings

1 granny smith apple
1 teaspoon each of xylitol, coconut palm sugar, cinnamon and virgin coconut oil
1/3 cup oats
3 tablespoons melted virgin coconut oil
1 tablespoon each of xylitol, coconut palm sugar and cinnamon

Peel, core and cut up one granny smith apple and place in a single serving over proof dish.

Mix together 1 teaspoon each of xylitol, coconut palm sugar and cinnamon.
Toss with the apples to evenly distribute, then drizzle with 1 teaspoon melted virgin coconut oil.

Mix together the rest of the ingredients, oats, xylitol, coconut palm sugar, cinnamon and virgin coconut oil.

Place crumble on top of apples.

Bake for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven.  I like to use my toaster oven for such small servings.

 And for an extra special treat top with a scoop of ice cream.

Enjoy!

This is a fairly healthy treat, using virgin coconut oil in place of butter makes this dairy free and an all around better fat to use.

 Replacing the brown sugar with a mix between xylitol and coconut palm sugar also provides a better choice and they are both low on the glycemic index and a good option for dibetics.

Now that's Creative!
