Apple crisp is a classic dessert that is made with apples, oats, sugar, and butter. It is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. However, traditional apple crisp recipes are often high in sugar, which can be a problem for people who are trying to eat a healthier diet. If you are looking for a way to enjoy apple crisp without all of the sugar, there are a few things you can do. By using natural sweeteners, such as honey or maple syrup, and reducing the amount of added sugar, you can make a low-sugar apple crisp that is just as delicious as the traditional version.

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 small or 4 medium sized dessert apples such as Braeburn
1 teaspoons ground Cinnamon or add to taste if you like a lot of cinnamon
150 g plain flour
30 g soft brown sugar
150 g butter of baking spread such as margarine
100 g ground almonds
¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180 deg fan assisted. I always use fan assisted oven and use a thermometer to make sure it reaches the correct temperature. TIP: Every oven is different, so if using a conventional oven you may need to increase the temp a little, approx 20 deg. Just make sure it reaches 180 deg as this is what I baked the crumble at.
  • Wash and core the apples, no need to peel them, then cut them into chunks about ½ cm in size. Toss the apples in the cinnamon until every piece of apple is coated and flavoured with the cinnamon spice.
  • Place the apples into a shallow pie dish about 8 inches in diameter and 2inch deep.
  • In a separate bowl, add all the crumble ingredients. Using your finger tips rub the mixture together until you have a rough crumble mixture with not too many large chunks of butter, a few is fine.
  • Pour the crumble mix over the top of the apples. Create a slight well around the edges of the pie dish. This will allow for pools of apple juice to collect rather than spill over the sides of the pie dish.
  • Bake in the centre of the oven for 30 - 35 mins or until you have a nice golden topping with a few juices bubbling on the side. There may not be too many juices because of the lack of sugar in the apple mixture.
  • Allow the crumble to cool before serving with custard, ice cream or thick whipped cream.
