Expert Tips

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the original.

For variety, stir 2 to 4 tablespoons ground flaxseed into the topping mixture before sprinkling over apples.

Good apples for apple crisp are the same as those that are good in apple pie, such as Braeburn, Jonathan, McIntosh or Northern Spy.

Could not find the apple type recommended so I used Galas. Made this recipe twice--first by the book. Was Ok but 1) a little dry on top after baking and 2) the apple skins were kind of tough. When I made it the 2nd time I added a tbsp melted Promise Light and peeled the apples prior to baking. Much better!

I make this dish all the time. It is just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. I prefer to prepare it without skin. Did not like with skin on.

The apple crisp looks like a great dessert for the winter, spring, summer and fall. The oatmeal and apple looks great also.
