Melt-In-Your-Mouth Easy Apple Crisp

The ingredients are nutritious too – apples are high in anti-oxidants, fiber, vitamins, and no fats or sodium. Apples are great for digestion, cleansing, and for lowering cholesterol. Plus, we use whole wheat pastry flour and oats. All are great for elderly nutrition. Brown sugar does add sweetening, but that’s part of what makes it so melt-in-your mouth! All in all, this is considered to be quite a healthy dessert. And it’s soft to eat, especially if you peel the apples, for those with elderly issues who prefer soft foods. This one will be a hit!

Melt-In-Your-Mouth Easy Apple Crisp

Preheat oven to 375 F degrees.
Grease an 8 x 8 cake pan

Mix together:
4 cups sliced apples (Granny Smith or other tart kinds are best)
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
Put mixture into the greased pan

In a bowl, mix together until crumbly:
½ cup flour
1 ½ cups oats
¾ cup packed brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 tsp cinnamon
½ cup melted butter, margarine, or substitute
1 ½ Tablespoon lemon juice Optional: add in ¼ cup coconut

Crumble the topping over the apple mixture. Bake in a pre-heated oven for about 30 minutes at 375 F degrees, or until the topping has browned. Apples should be soft but not soggy.

This is especially good served warm with whipped cream or ice cream. Yum! This is one of my favorite easy healthy recipes -- I think I’ll make it right now!
