Oh yes, it’s time for another Fall recipe! My whole family loves Apple Crisp, but I wanted to come up with a healthier version of it. So after a couple trials, I have come up with an extremely delicious and better-for-you Apple Crisp recipe. The biggest difference in my recipe? The topping. Instead of using oats smothered in butter and sugar and regret, I used Bear Naked’s Sea Salt Caramel Apple Granola. It’s a new flavor from Bear Naked and it is so good! I was eating it for breakfast with some almond milk, but after putting it in this recipe I definitely want to add it to more! It’s the perfect sweet and savory Fall addition to both my morning rituals and recipes to come. Because I love ya’ll- you can use the Ibotta app to get $2 off! P.S. if you haven’t used this app before, download it now. It is the best coupon finder/money saver.
Ingredients:
-
3 Apples, sliced thinly
-
1/2 Cup Real Maple Syrup
-
1/4 Cup Coconut Brown Sugar
-
1 TSP Cinnamon
-
1 TBSP Vanilla Extract
-
2 TBSP Coconut Oil
*I found all of these ingredients at BJs. They have a coupon at the front of the store for $2 off Bear Naked. Combined with the coupon mentioned above that’s $4 off! AND they’re doing live demos on September 5th so that you can taste this delicious granola before buying.
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease 8 inch corningware with 1 TBSP coconut oil.
-
Mix maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla in a small bowl.
-
Place apples in corningware dish and pour mixture over the top of the apples. Use a spatula to thoroughly coat apples.
-
Top with Bear Naked granola. Melt remaining coconut oil if solidified, and pour over the granola.
-
Place corningware in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until top is golden brown. Serve immediately with coconut whipped cream or coconut ice cream. Enjoy!!
