So, I did my best to create for you the best healthy low-carb apple crisp recipe with very few but healthy ingredients.

How to make the best healthy apple crisp recipe

1. You'll choose high sugared apples, in this case, no need to add any sugar. Golden and Gala apples are my choices.
2. Replace butter with peanut butter; a very healthy choice. Try to use sugar-free peanut butter.
3. Let's add some coconut cream so that we can have some tenderness and moisture in this apple crisp recipe.
4. Cook the apples for a few minutes in coconut oil. Cold-pressed coconut oil pulls everything together, making this apple crisp so yummy.

How to cook low-carb apple crisp recipe?

Do you've got a sauté pan that goes in the oven? 

You'll first cook your apples in the sauté pan then send them in the oven to bake. This will shorten the baking time, saving you time.

By using oatmeal flour and rolled oats, you'll also reduce the cooking time since these ingredients don't necessarily need any cooking.

I don't peel our apples, the skin is full of fiber, but be free to peel them.

Can you leave your apple crisp out overnight?

• Oh yes you can! you can make this apple crisp in the evening and leave it out on your kitchen counter for the morning breakfast.
• You can also keep it in the fridge for a few days and reheat it before serving. Just note, however, that the taste and the aspect will degrade with time.

I hope you'll love this healthy apple crisp recipe as we love it here. A recipe to enjoy anytime. 

We don't top our low carb apple crisp with ice cream because we don't like ice creams over here, and again, we eat this for our breakfast...

Do feel free to top yours with healthier ice cream, but don't forget the deal; this is a healthy low carb apple crisp recipe!

Equipment

Ingredients

For topping

• 2 1/2 rolled oats
• 1 tsp ginger
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• pinch of salt
• 1 tsp baking powder

• 3 tbsp thick peanut butter
• 160 ml coconut cream

For filling

• 10 small apples
• 1 tsp ginger spice
• 1 tsp cinnamon spice

Instructions

• Heat your oven at 190°
• Blend 2 cups of rolled oats to get oat flour and pour it in a big bowl

• Thank you so much for pining this recipe

Notes

• I used small apples so use a few if you have big size apples.
• I use homemade peanut butter that's thick in texture, if you are using a flowing peanut butter consider using 4-5 spoons but then add the coconut cream gradually.
• If you don't have a skillet/pan that can go the oven, then transfer your apples into a baking tin after adding coconut cream and bake till crumbles are golden.
