Apple Crisp (healthy + easy!)

My obsession for these last few months! This Apple Crisp is so simple, healthy, low sugar, and gluten-free + dairy-free. Perfect for dessert, a snack, breakfast, or even using as a topping for yogurt and oatmeal bowls.

I love topping it with whipped cream, coconut whip (the brand So Delicious is amazing!), or vanilla ice cream. In these photos, I used oat milk ice cream ☺️

    I made this last night and it turned out SO good. Honestly probably the best crisp I’ve ever had, and I feel like you could make it with pretty much any fruit. I’ll definitely be making this again!

    • Oh my gosh, that makes me so happy to hear! I am definitely going to try it with berries too now that they are back in season 🙂 thank you so much for the comment! xo

    I made this for my Tuesday morning bible study group and it was devoured and received rave reviews! There are several women in my group who are gluten free and all of us are working on eating a healthier diet, so this was absolutely perfect for feeding a group, a healthy option, and most of all absolutely delicious!
