Refined Sugar Free Apple Crisp

November 13, 2019 by the thoughtful spoon

These past few weeks have been quiet in the Reynolds household as we gear up for the Holiday’s ahead and as temperatures drop, I am all about staying in, cozying up and hibernating. This past weekend as it hit a low of 35° in Brooklyn, Tim and I did just that.

I recipe tested, we cleaned the apartment, snuggled with Summit and caught up on the newest season of Jack Ryan (love me some John Krasinski).

One of the recipes I’ve been dying to test is this gluten free, refined sugar free apple crisp. Apple crisps are hands down one of my favorite desserts, so coming up with a ‘cleaner’ version has been on my list for some time. I first tested the topping for this to add to Simple Mill’s Pumpkin Bread mix, in this Pumpkin Chocolate Crumb Cake recipe and it did not disappoint.

With all natural ingredients this recipe is a winner for breakfast, dessert or just as a snack. I personally suggest serving this warmed up (throw a serving in the microwave for 30-60 seconds), and adding vanilla yogurt on top. I love Siggi’s or Icelandic Skyr, which are both not only creamy but chalked full of protein, meaning you’ll stay fuller longer. This has been my go-to breakfast the last few mornings and it’s been a warming way to start the day.

HOW is my baby 11 months old already?! These day HOW is my baby 11 months old already?! 

These days Aveline is really into walking, giving high fives, giving “kisses” (which is basically just open mouth to the face), blowing raspberries on my tummy (which is also basically just open mouth to my stomach), hugging Summit, loving on her friends from school, morning dance parties, and snuggling with her da-da. 

Her little personality is developing every day and she’s so sweet, funny and just cool. 

Time can seriously slow down now... at least for the next 28 days #almostone #elevenmonthsold #avelinereynolds
