Whole Wheat Apple Crisp Food

WHOLE WHEAT-APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Toss apples, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons butter in a 2-quart baking dish.
• Toss oats, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, salt, remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, and remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a small bowl until evenly mixed and no dry spots remain (it should be very wet and form into clumps when pressed together). Sprinkle oat mixture over apples and bake until topping is golden brown (it will crisp as it cools) and filling is juicy and bubbling, 50-60 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes to let juices set. Serve topped with scoops of ice cream.
• Do Ahead
• Crisp can be baked 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Reheat before serving.

HEALTHIER APPLE CRISP II

• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 45 minutes.

HEALTHY APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Mix the butter, Splenda, whole wheat flour, pecans, rolled oats, cinnamon and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Peel, core and slice about 6-8 apples. We like to use gala apples as they don't get mushy when baked.
• As you are slicing them, add them to a bowl with some water to cover them and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. This will prevent them from turning brown on you while you finish slicing all the apples.
• Drain the apples.
• Place them in a baking dish with high sides that you have sprayed with cooking spray.
• Cover the apples with the topping.
• Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes or until the apples are soft and the topping looks crispy.

WHOLE GRAIN APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Prepare the oat flour by processing 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats in the food processor. (You can also buy oat flour at a health food store or possibly a grocery store.).
• Cut the 1/2 stick butter in half lengthwise, in half again, and then slice into small cubes. Turn on the food processor again and feed the cubes into the food processor while it is running.
• Cream the sugar and cinnamon into the oat mixture, then add the whole oats.
• Chill the mixture in the refrigerator while you prepare the apples.
• Preheat the oven to 350 and spray an 8 x 8-inch pan with cooking spray.
• After the apples have been peeled and sliced, spread them out in the 8 x 8-inch pan. Crumble the oat mixture on top.
• Bake for 30 minutes and serve warm.
