This is the best Apple Crisp recipe with oatmeal that I've found. Juicy, easy, healthy, quick - what more does one want?
Instead of the usual way of making apple crisp using all-purpose flour and quick-cooking oats, try using whole wheat flour and old-fashioned rolled oats. Not only healthier, but this alternative recipe has a nuttier taste. Delicious!
Depending on the sweetness of the apples, you can omit the added sugar to the apples and lower the amount of brown sugar in the topping.
As a treat, instead of the sugar added to the apples, I've drizzled about 2 tbsp. of maple syrup over them instead. Then to the oat mixture, I've added 1/2 cup chopped almonds. Pecans work great as well.
