This healthy apple crisp has all real, whole ingredients like oats, almond meal, nuts, cinnamon, coconut oil and pure maple syrup, and it’s by far the best healthy dessert I’ve ever had. It’s free of refined sugar and the only sweetener is just a tiny bit of maple syrup, plus the natural sweetness of the apples. This crisp is loaded with a cinnamon apples and sweet crumbly topping. Top it with vanilla ice cream for pure bliss! Recipe and photo courtesy of Olivia Bane from Healthy Liv.
