No-Sugar Gluten-free Apple Crisp

5/17/2013

    If you happen to be following along with the Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle of eating, you may understand that sometimes after eating E (Energizing) meals, you might still feel hungry.  We were wanting dessert last night, but nothing sounded good to us. 

    That's when someone piped up and said, "Apple Crisp!  We could make a THM-style apple crisp!"

    So, we did. 


  • 4 baking apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/8" or 1/16" slices (I used 1 Fuji apple and 3 Granny Smith apples)
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. oat flour (I grind old-fashioned oats in a clean coffee grinder or blender; if you truly need this to be completely gluten-free, please use gluten-free oats)
  • 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats (if you truly need this to be completely gluten-free, please use gluten-free oats)
  • 1/4 cup Truvia or erythritol/stevia combination
  • 4 tsp. butter, melted
  • small squirt of nonfat Reddi-Whip or similar nonfat whipped cream


    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  In a small bowl, stir together cinnamon, Truvia or erythritol/stevia combination, and salt.  In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with cinnamon-sugar-salt mixture.  Set aside.

    Meanwhile, spray 8x8" metal baking pan with nonstick cooking spray (I like using Spectrum's Coconut Oil Spray).  If using a glass baking dish, reduce oven temperature by 25 degrees and bake for slightly less time. 

    Pour 1/4 cup water into the greased baking pan and spoon in the sliced apple mixture. 

    In a separate bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, oat flour (grind 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp. old-fashioned oats in your blender or coffee grinder to make your own oat flour), and 2 Tbsp. Truvia.  Pour melted butter into the flour mixture and mix them together thoroughly.  It should be crumbly. 

    Spread the crumble mixture out evenly on top of the layer of apples.  Bake for 30-40 minutes until apples are soft and the crust has hardened and turned golden brown.  For an added "crisp" to your topping, broil for 1 minute.  (Don't let it burn!)  Serve hot by itself or with nonfat whipped cream.

Recipe Notes:

  • Note that the sugars listed in the nutrition facts are natural sugars from the apples.
  • Also note that this is quite sweet!  If you prefer your fruit desserts to be less sweet, reduce the amount of Truvia or erythritol/stevia that you use to combine with the sliced apples.

No-Sugar, Gluten-Free, Apple Crisp
(E for Trim Healthy lifestyle)

Serves 5 to be within Trim Healthy "E" guidelines
    This recipe will be delicious with rhubarb, combinations of various fruits, or whatever type of fruit you'd like to serve in cobblers or crisps.  If you choose to use straight rhubarb, this would actually be a Fuel Pull for the Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle!  Have fun losing weight while eating!  :)


    Feel free to take a look at my Trim Healthy VISUAL SHOPPING LIST to get a better idea of some of the quicker food options available in your stores!

    I don't know why anyone would want to make a tiny, 1-serving size of this recipe, because we love leftovers!  (Heh, heh.)   ☺  But if you live alone or for some odd reason just want to make enough for one person, one time, here you go!  (As requested by a reader.)


You can divide the recipe by 4 to get a smaller quantity:

  • 1 apple
  • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
  • tiny sprinkling of salt
  • 1 Tbsp. water
  • 2 Tbsp. + 1.5 tsp. homemade oat flour
  • 1 Tbsp. old-fashioned oats
  • 1 Tbsp. Truvia, erythritol/stevia, or xylitol
  • 1 tsp. melted butter
  • tiny amount of Reddi-Whip or your own sweetened yogurt topping
    You'll probably want to bake this for less time - just so you don't end up with burnt offerings.

YESSS, This looks very good! Just one thing, honey is an animal product, therefore the recipe is not vegan. I'm sure substituting maple or agave syrup would work just as well :)

Or, you could serve it with tummy tucking ice cream!! yum yum

That's true, Martha, you could! The only thing is that you would want the fat grams to stay low enough so that you wouldn't enter crossover territory. :)

Tummy Tucking Ice Cream is FP....so, why would that put this into Crossover? I would think it would still be a nice E unless you're using a very high fat almond milk.

Thank you! I needed a recipe for apple pie for the kids for next week's lessons, and this will be perfect! Since I have a diabetic I keep him eating THM as much as possible to help his blood sugars. This is amazing.

(On a side note, where did you make your nutritional information box? That would be so helpful for me when I bake and have to figure out the carbs in what I am making.)

Hi, Dana, thanks for stopping by!

I've found this website to be quite accurate for making the nutritional facts:

I made this last night for our THM monthly meeting and it was so good! Everyone gobbled it right up....even though I burned it and it tasted a little bit like a burned piece of toast. Oops? LOL LOL I'll be making it again - for breakfast! YUMMORAMA.
I served with a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Hi, I'm new to your site. I followed a link here from the THM Facebook group. I was hoping to PIN this to my THM board, but for some reason, the PIN button won't work. :(
I absolutely LOVE apple crisp, so I can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing. :)

This was really good! I used 1 cup of apples, 3 cups frozen cranberries, substituted the 2 Tbsp. of oat flour for whey protein, and 1 Tbsp. butter and 3 Tbsp. coconut oil. If I read the nutrition facts, it made it even less carbs so I got to eat a fourth instead of just a fifth. Thanks for the recipe!

Hi! I am curious how this recipe turned out using peaches. What quantity of peaches would one use?

Hi, Lynne! I haven't made this yet using peaches, but I'd imagine that you'd want to use at least four peaches (since the recipe calls for four apples). If they are small in size, you might want to add in an extra peach. I don't think the amount of peaches is going to make that much of a difference; you just don't want it to overflow your 8" x 8" baking pan.

This looks really good - - but unless you change the oats to "gluten free oats", you can't call it gluten free. Most oats are processed near wheat and are cross-contaminated. There are some people who are gluten free that the ppm is low enough to not bother them, but most people who are gluten intolerant need gluten free oats. When in doubt, go B.R.O.W.N = Barley, Rye, Oats, Wheat, NO.

Thanks!

You're right, Lisa - and I knew this! Just didn't think to add it to the list of ingredients, because I guess I figured that those who needed to be gluten-free already knew this. But...just to clarify the recipe better, I'm going to add in your little tidbit of information to help others out who might not be gluten-free and baking for someone who is. Thank you for the reminder! :)

So, I was craving this tonight at 10pm....I made the single serving in the microwave..I didn't feel like waiting for it to bake. I did it in a 6 oz ramekin & I cooked it for about 3 minutes. It was good, but I think tomorrow I'll do the BIG batch in the oven. But for a quick treat it was so good!

I made this tonight & it smells SO good but the crumble topping didn't brown & still feels like flour consistency after baking in a glass dish for 35 minutes. When mixing the crumble, I felt like it looked dry & needed more butter but didn't want to chance entering crossover territory so I just left it. Haven't tried it yet but I will in about an hour.

Beth Ann, thank you for letting me know that you tried the recipe. :) I'm sorry it didn't turn out as you'd hoped. To brown the topping, you could brown it in the broiler/oven, but you'll want to watch it carefully so it doesn't burn.

As far as the crumble still looking like flour (instead of a true crumble), this isn't going to have the exact look and feel of a true crumble, just because to stay on plan, it needs to use less butter than normal - as you figured out. But mine definitely didn't feel like flour. I don't know if you measure your flour by dipping or spooning the flour into the measuring cup. If you are spooning the flour in, trying dipping it next time and see if it makes a difference. :)

Mine did the exact same thing. I always measure by dipping as well, and though it tasted amazing, the texture of the crumble was still a flour consistency. I quadruple checked the recipe to make sure I did it right, and I did follow it to a T, so I'm not sure what happened?

Rachel

Is it 1/2 plus 2 TBS oat flour, or 1/2 plus 2 TBS oats ground to flour? or does it turn out the same? I'm a bit confused. And more or less flour would affect the consistency of the crumble

I'm just wondering if Stevia has the same taste as other artificial sweetners. The best one I've tasted is Splenda but even that has that "artificial" taste. I usually just substitute sugar for the artificial stuff. I don't want to buy a whole box of Stevia if I won't like it. I don't drink or eat anything with artificial sweetners in them. I have accidentally bought things with it and can taste it right away. Anyone else have this issue and is Stevia different?

Reply

Lynda, yes, stevia does have an aftertaste, in every kind I've ever tried. The best way to help it not taste bad is to avoid all forms of sugar for 3-6 weeks, and slowly use a little bit of stevia every day. Miraculously, your tongue will stop tasting the aftertaste of stevia, and you'll enjoy using it! I was just about to throw away all of my stevia until I learned that by waiting it out and not eating any forms of sugar for a while, my tongue would adapt. :) Hooray!

There are two other options that I think are very good:

1. Buy Swerve Sweetener, which is a combination of erythritol and oligosacharides. Learn more about it here: http://www.swervesweetener.com/about-swerve/

You can either buy it from their website, or online on Amazon, or in some health food stores like Whole Foods, etc.

2. This is a brand new option as of July 2015: Trim Healthy Mama is now selling Gentle Sweet, a blend of erythritol and stevia. I'm going to be trying it soon, and I've heard it has NO aftertaste at all! https://store.trimhealthymama.com/product-p/1085-455175658.htm

I just made this last night because we were having a rare "E" dinner night, and, WOW!!! Super good! We only currently have a family of 3, with the 4th currently on the way, but I still made the full version because, hey, leftovers, like you said!! Which were used this morning as an E breakfast warmed back up in the oven then served over Greek yogurt. Sooo yummy, my 3yr old gobbled it up last night & today! Only thing I did different was to grease pan with 1 tsp coconut oil because I was out of butter nonstick spray, and I didn't peel the apples but just cored them and chopped finely in food processor. I'm too lazy to peel, plus the nutrients are in the skin. Still tasted divine, and by my calculations, even the greasing of the pan with oil would keep fat grams under 5. This is going to be a weekly staple here, saved in favorites, for a quick, nutritious breakfast over yogurt or yummy dessert after E meals! Next time I'm trying pear crisp!

Hi, how much rhubarb would be needed? And if I'm using green rhubarb which is less tart than the red, would I slightly decrease the sweetener?
Also Body Ecology has a sugar free sweetener called, Lakanto. It is a mix of erythritol and luo Han.

Absolutely loved it! I was craving an apple dessert and found your recipe. I'm so glad I tried it. I used only 1 cup of oak flour after grinding and substituted 1/2 of the 4 tsps of butter with 3 tsps of unsweetened applesauce. I also cheated to speed up the prep time and used canned apples for baking, rinsing off all of the syrup and patted dry with paper towels. Since the canned apples were already really sweet, I used less than half of the 1/4 cup of sweetener and sprinkled mixture over my apples instead of tossing apples in bowl and mixing (apples were already soft and didn't want to them mushy). My craving was completely satisfied and this recipe will be a keeper for sure.

Would be helpful if this recipe were rewritten with ingredients listed in order of use in directions as well as adding the need for additional sweetener for topping. It is so disappointing to find additional ingredients are needed once I get to instructions in ANY recipe.. TY.

Is it 1/4 cup Truvia in with the apples and 2TB Truvia in the topping? A total of 6 tablespoons? Or 2 in the apples and 2 in the topping?
