The Best low sugar apple crisp recipe
I love making this low sugar apple crisp because it gives us all the cozy fall flavors without the sugar crash. My kids gobble it up and I feel good knowing they are eating a dessert that uses fresh apples and a light touch of sweetener. It is perfect for a weeknight treat or for when we have guests over and I want something impressive but still wholesome.
This recipe uses just a little maple syrup or honey to bring out the natural sweetness of the apples. The topping is made with oats and a small amount of butter so it stays crunchy without being heavy. It is a great way to enjoy a classic dessert while keeping the sugar intake low and the fiber high.
I have served this at family dinners and potlucks and everyone always asks for the recipe. It works well for any occasion from a casual afternoon snack to a holiday dessert table. Plus it is easy to make ahead and reheat so it fits into a busy schedule.
