Whole Wheat Apple Crisp Recipes

HEALTHIER APPLE CRISP II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degree C).
• Place the sliced apples in a 9x13 inch pan. Mix the white sugar, 1 tablespoon flour and ground cinnamon together, and sprinkle over apples. Pour water evenly over all.
• Combine the oats, 1 cup flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, walnuts and melted butter together. Crumble evenly over the apple mixture.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 45 minutes.

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.

APPLE PEAR CRISP (3 WW POINTS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Prepare an 11 by 7 baking or casserole dish with a light coating of cooking spray.
• Squeeze the juice of a half lemon in to a large bowl and add water. This will help keep the peel fruit from browning while you are peeling and cutting.
• Peel and core the fruit. Slice into thinnish slices, suggestion is to cut the pears in eighths and the apples in tenths. As you are cutting place the fruit in the bowl of water and juice.
• Mix together the remaining ingredients for the fruit layer in a small bowl. Drain the fruit and pour in the prepared baking pan. Toss together with the sugar and spice mixture.
• In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients, flour through cinnamon.
• Cut the butter into small cubes or slices into the bowl and mix with a fork breaking up the butter into small mini pea sized bits. (I find it easiest to do this by hand.) At the end, you will have a very fine crumb.
• Add in the two tablespoons of pear puree and mix, the size of the crumbs will grow now with additional moisture.
• Sprinkle the crumb coating across the top of the apples and pears.
• Bake for 45 minutes until th fruit is bubbly and the top is crisped and browned. Actual cooking time will vary according to the thinness f the slices. Check about 5 minutes before the stated cooking time.
• Serve warm or cold.

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.

HEALTHIER APPLE CRISP FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 8-oz ramekins and place them on a baking sheet.
• Combine apples, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt for the filling in a bowl; toss until thoroughly mixed. Divide mixture between the prepared ramekins.
• Combine oats, flour, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt for the topping in a bowl; mix until thoroughly combined. Cut in softened butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly on top of the filling in the ramekins.
• Place baking sheet with ramekins into the preheated oven and bake until apples are tender and the topping is slightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

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.
