Nothing says fall more than the smell of a delicious baked apple crisp in the oven. A typical apple crisp has lots of butter (some have almost two sticks!), which can make it not so healthy. Instead of loading on the butter, in this recipe for Baked Apple Crisp, we focus on the best part of the dish – the apples! This modified, healthy version of Baked Apple Crisp is loaded with fresh, in season apples and cuts down the butter to only two tablespoons. Add in some whole grain oats and fall favorite spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and a little brown sugar, and you’ve got yourself a tasty and healthy treat that is perfect for cooler temperatures.
