Why This Apple Crisp is Best

Apple Crisp has it all: cozy comfort, a buttery crumble topping and the delicious taste of apples and cinnamon. It’s a great way to enjoy the fresh comfort of an apple pie without the crust.

• The natural sweetness of the apples reduces the need for added sweeteners.
• A crisp topping yields to soft, gooey bites of apple.
• The combo of cinnamon and apples is irresistible—and makes your kitchen smell amazing.
• Impressive enough for your Thanksgiving table, but easy enough for any day of the week.
• Serve with ice cream or fresh whipped cream for the perfect fall dessert!

Now you can make the classic dessert with all the great taste you love in the original and none of the excess sugar.

Ingredient Notes

• Apples – I like to use tart, firm apples in apple crisp. Granny Smith and Golden Delicious are both top choices. Varieties with a combination of sweetness and tartness, like Honeycrisp are tasty in this recipe too.
• Monk fruit sweetener – A naturally occurring sugar substitute that sweetens the crisp without affecting the flavor. We use both golden monk fruit and regular granulated monk fruit here. Stevia could also be used (or erythritol).
• Corn starch – The starch dissolves into the juices of the apple as the crisp bakes to give the apples a thick, syrupy gleam.
• Oats – Make sure to use old fashioned (or rolled) oats for the crisp topping; not steel cut or quick cooking varieties.
• Lemon juice – The acid brightens up the flavor of the sweet apple crisp.

Tips and Tricks

Sugar free apple crisp is one of the easiest desserts to make from scratch.

• Peel, core and dice your apples.
• Toss the apples with the other filling ingredients, then transfer to a 9 inch baking dish.
• Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples.
• Bake until bubbly and caramelized!

Serving suggestions:

We recommend serving your homemade apple crisp with a big scoop of sugar free vanilla ice cream. The cold ice cream melts into the warm crisp making every bite better than the last. Or make a fresh batch of Sugar Free Whipped Cream to dollop on top of each serving!

Notes
