Apple-Berry Crisp

No ratings yet

We can't resist this lightened up version of the crowd-pleasing dessert!

Apple-Berry Crisps are made in individual ramekins. What’s wonderful about this recipe is that there is no refined sugar or white flour. Instead, honey is used and whole oats are ground to make a flour.

Walnuts are added to this tasty recipe, so fat content is increased, but it’s in the form of monounsaturated fat, a heart healthy fat that is easy for the body to metabolize. Also, note that olive oil can be used, but stay away from extra virgin or virgin olive oil as the taste is stronger and not usually great for baking sweet dishes. Regular olive oil, however, usually works just fine in baking sweets. Since it’s one of the most healthful oils around, there is no reason not to use it.

  1. Quick (& possibly silly) question: Assuming this recipe can be prepared in 1 baking pan rather than in separate ramekins, what size pan would I use, & would any other modifications be needed? Thanks!

    1. Christena, I would recommend using a 9×13 casserole dish, or close. No other modifications are needed. Enjoy! 🙂
