SIMPLE APPLE CRISP

Makes 1 servings

Here’s why you want to eat APPLES

Apples are super hydrating on a deep cellular level. They also contain natural electrolytes, helping to hydrate you after exercise. They’re a great brain food- feeding neurons and increasing electrical activity in your brain. Apple’s skin contain red pigments that contain anti-obesity compounds that encourage weight loss. They’re also a great colon cleanser- that certainly aids in the weight loss category! Apples also help decrease nervousness and anxiousness and menopause symptoms. And my favorite- they help bring back your vibrancy, elevate you and lighten your spirit!

Ingredients

For the Apple Filling

• 1 apple, diced (about 1 cup)

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tbsp water

For the Crumble

• 1/4 cup rolled or old fashioned oats

• 1/4 cup oat flour (or more oats if you prefer)

• 1/8 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tbsp pure maple syrup (or other sweetener)

• 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted (or avocado oil or vegan butter, melted)

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a small ramekin with cooking spray.

• Combine the diced apple, cinnamon and water to a small dish and mix. Once mixed, add the apple mixture to the bottom of the greased ramekin.

• In a separate dish, mix together the crumble ingredients until well combined. Sprinkle the crumble on top of the apple mixture (make sure to fully cover the apple mixture).

• Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the apples are soft and the crumble is slightly hardened.

• Let it cool on the stovetop. Once it cools, top with dairy free vanilla yogurt, dairy free whipped cream or dairy free vanilla ice cream. Dig in and enjoy!
