Easy Apple Crisp Recipe

EASY APPLE CRISP

3 cooking apples
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup raisins (optional)
1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional)
1/4 cup of crushed walnuts (optional)

Serves 4

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Peel, core and slice 3 cooking apples. Put them in an ovenproof dish and sprinkle over 2 tbsp of maple syrup. Use a food processor to whiz together 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour and 1/3 cup butter until they resemble fine breadcrumbs. Stir in 1/2 cup of oats (or more depending on how you like it), 1/4 cup of maple syrup and ½ tsp ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples and bake until the top is browned and the apples are bubbling.

Healthful Hint: Adding healthy nuts to a dish lowers the glycemic load of any meal.
