Weight Watchers Apple Crisp

5/5

Apple crisp is already pretty healthy when you compare it to cakes, cookies, and brownies.

It’s loaded with fruit, and the topping typically has oats for added fiber. 

Since this has a lot less sugar than regular apple crisp, I suggest using sweet apples, like Fuji or Honeycrisp, as the more tart apples will stand out more without the added sugar. 

The other major substitution in this is the use of light butter or margarine. Since this doesn’t need to rise, it doesn’t need full-fat butter. 

It’s just to help bind the topping ingredients, so you could even use coconut oil if you wanted to, making this vegan to boot.

WEIGHT WATCHERS APPLE CRISP

Weight Watchers Apple Crisp

Autumn is the perfect time of year to make apple crisp for dessert and it also makes your house smell amazing. Regular Apple Crisp has a lot of butter and lots of extra added sugar to it. This lightened up WW version still has those two ingredients but with less butter and sugar than what normal apple crisp recipes call for. Don’t think you can have apple crisp on WW? Dessert like apple crisp in moderation is the key to being able to succeed at weight loss but still satisfy your cravings without feeling guilty about it after eating it.

RECIPE TIPS AND TRICKS

Apples: Want to know what the best type of apples are for apple crisp? Literally any apple you find at the grocery store is good. But, the best apples to use are either Honey Crisp or Granny Smith Apples.

The apples do not need to be peeled for apple crisp.

Streusel ingredients for apple crisp include flour, oats (do not use quick cooking) sugar, and spices like nutmeg and cinnamon. Butter helps combine the topping ingredients and creates the crunchy streusel topping.

Toppings ideas: Instead of adding ice cream to the top of apple crisp, try adding some Whipped Topping to it instead. I’ve been loving the Friendly Farms Maple and Vanilla whipped topping that you can get at Aldi lately.

Ginger can be left out and is optional.

After baking, if the topping still looks dry wait for it to set a couple of minutes before eating.

Leftovers: Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. If it lasts that long. 🙂 To reheat add leftovers to microwave safe dish and let it cook for 1 to 2 minutes in the microwave.

HOW TO MAKE APPLE CRISP

Add the water and firmly press mixture to form clumps. If the topping still looks dry add up to 2 tablespoons of water. 
  3. To make the filling, mix the granulated sugar, the 2 tablespoons flour, the nutmeg, and cloves in a large bowl. Add the apples and vanilla; mix well. Transfer to the baking dish.
