8gNET CARBSApple Crisp with Pecan Oat Topping
Warm cinnamon apples under a crunchy almond, pecan and oat topping, portioned for steady blood sugar.
Ingredients
Apple filling
- 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp brown monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
Pecan oat topping
- 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/3 cup brown monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 4 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
Directions
- Heat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- Toss the apple slices with the lemon juice, then with the brown monk fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg and coconut flour. Spread evenly in the dish.
- For the topping, stir the almond flour, pecans, oats, brown monk fruit, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter with your fingertips until it forms crumbly clumps.
- Scatter the topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown, the juices bubble at the edges and a knife slides easily into the apples. Tent with foil if the topping darkens before the apples are tender.
- Cool 15 minutes so the juices thicken, then spoon into 8 portions.

Know your label
CDC says to eat whole fruits instead of drinking juice, because juice delivers a lot of sugar at once and leaves the fiber behind.
FDA says label nutrition information is usually based on one serving, so check the serving size before reading the carb grams.
Mayo Clinic says refined grains have the germ and bran removed, which takes out nearly all of the fiber.
