Apple Crisp For 2

Select your language:

Pear and apple crisps are the epitome of fall desserts! This is tasty and also nutrient-rich, with fruit and a whole grain (oats), topped with protein-rich yogurt for an a-la-mode style. 

For this recipe, you will be using a blender to make oat flour out of rolled oats. If you do not have a blender, use ¼ cup of any kind of flour you'd like instead. 

You can double or triple this recipe and bake in a large dish, to serve more people. 

This is a framework recipe.

Step 5
Blend the remaining ¼ cup oats in a blender or food processor until they are a flour like consistency. Add oat flour to the bowl.

Notes

Sugar substitutes are a good alternative if you are managing your blood sugar. We like using monk fruit sweetener, erythritol, or stevia. Granulated or brown sugar add more calories and carbohydrates to this dish.
