Weight Down Living

Remember when we went apple picking with our friends?

Well, we ended up with a ton of apples – of course!  And after eating a few whole, I knew that I needed to get creative in the kitchen before they all went off.  I wanted a yummy snack with only a few ingredients – something fun to eat but healthy, too.  And so I whipped up this grain-free apple crisp.

Unlike other apple crisps, which are of course packed with added sugar, this one only has one source of sweetness – the apples themselves!  Apples have such a delicious flavor when baked.  I added a scoop of plain Greek yogurt to the side and the whole thing was very reminiscence of apple pie à la Mode!

Ingredients:

• 3 apples (I used two Gala and one Granny Smith)
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 cup sliced almonds
• 1/4 cup pecans, chopped
• Optional: Plain Greek Yogurt on the side

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a glass pie dish or a cast iron skillet.
• Cut the apples into slices and arrange in the dish.
• Melt the coconut oil. Mix in cinnamon and nuts, coating the nuts thoroughly.
• Pour mixture over the top of the apples.
• Cover with foil and make for 40 minutes.
• Serve and enjoy!

Hope you guys have a fabulous weekend!
