Cinnamon Apple Crisp




There's nothing quite like the smell of apples and cinnamon coming out of your oven and a beautiful fall evening. This cinnamon scented apple crisp is a perfect fall dessert, when apples are at their peak. Serve it warm topped with a scoop of low fat vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt and enjoy. I like to use Empire, Gala, or Braeburn apples when baking.

    5. Where do you find agave nectar?

      ReplyDelete
    6. I got Agave Nectar at my local health food store. Some grocery stores will carry it in the "healthy " section. And i thought GNC carried this~~ not sure though.

    8. You can get agave nectar at Trader Joes, but recently I have spotted it at WalMart Supercenters.

    11. this is in the oven, just made the delicious dijon mutard pork chops! I could not find Agave nectar, so i used Pear...will that alter this at all?

      ReplyDelete
    12. Not sure, I've never used pear nectar before.

      ReplyDelete
    13. Nice, lighter way of doing this. Looks like a good one for fall (and my huge bounty of apples I just brought home from apple picking!)

    14. Re: Agave Nectar - I haven't found any localy, so I just substitute honey in Gina's fabulous recipes.

      Can't wait to make this one!

    16. This looks delicious. I love that everything has the points listed. Thank you! I found you through Foodie Blogroll and I will definitely be back!

      ReplyDelete
    17. Does anyone know how many points this will be if i subsitute honey for agave nector. I am making this for desert for my wife and she is hard core into WW right now, (and she is doing awesome and looking fine!) Apple crisp is her favorite so i thought that i would surprise her!
      Thanks

    18. If you dont have agave nectar, you could use honey or brown sugar. The points will remain the same. Agave tends to be sweeter so you use less or should I say you would need more sugar.
      As long as you are using sweet apples opposed to tart ones, you should be fine.

    19. It just started to be fall like in FL. I have been waiting to make this treat for a perfect fall day, whew it finally came. My home smells wonderful and the apple crisp tastes even better!

    21. I love the smell of baked apples on a cold day! Glad you enjoyed it!

    22. Gina - this one's another hit! I subbed maple syrup, as I was frantically running around the Singapore grocery store, searching on my phone for "agave nectar substitute" (apparently Singapore doesn't import syrup from Mexico), and it turned out great. Next time I'm totally trying honey :)

      ReplyDelete
    23. I'm sure maple syrup was great! Honey or brown sugar would be a great replacement for agave nectar.

      ReplyDelete
    24. Thank you Gina.
      I love your blog and all of your recipes.

      ReplyDelete
    25. Can I use sugar in this recipe if I can't find agave nectar? If yes, how much sugar should I use. I just found this site and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. You have devoted so much time and energy to it and to the recipes!

      ReplyDelete
    26. Thanks for noticing, yes I have put a lot of time into it!! Sure, you can use sugar. I would use brown sugar. Try using 1/4 cup, put more if you think it needs it.

      ReplyDelete
    27. hi Gina,
      im a raw foodist in singapore and agave nectar isnt sold here. could i use raw honey?

      ReplyDelete
    28. Yes, raw honey is fine!

    29. I made this last night for a friends birthday. I made a small bowl on the side for my husband and I to taste the same night I made it. It was just ok. But the next day I brought it to my friend and it was so much better. The flavors had strengthened and the consistency was more like apple pie. YUMMY! I used brown sugar instead of agava. Love the recipes!!!

      ReplyDelete
    30. This was amazing. I made it last night for friends we had over tonight. Everyone LOVED it with a dollop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream. So worth the 4.5 (5.5 with the ice cream) points. Thanks, Gina for the best recipe site ever!!!

      ReplyDelete
    31. You're welcome! I'm all about pies and crisps with ice cream myself!

      ReplyDelete
    32. I just made this today. Even picky eaters ate it. Yum. Thanks Gina! -Jamie

    33. Would using apples other than granny smith work, or would you suggest making other alterations?

      ReplyDelete
    34. Honey Crisp, Empire, Gala, or Braeburn apples would all be great!

      ReplyDelete
    35. What is your opinion on points plus for this recipe? If I count the apples, it is 7 pp per serving, If not, it is 5 pp per serving.

      ReplyDelete
    36. Just made this tonight for company and loved it! It didn't even taste healthy! Loved it- just enough crisp and the apples were delightful with the agave!

      ReplyDelete
    37. Do you know what the carb count is?

      ReplyDelete
    38. AWESOME!! I added more cinnemon to the apples and the topping. I used splenda instead of the agave, just because it was what I had on hand. Baked it in a 9 X 9 pan, for about 10 more minutes than stated in the recipe. I served it with 50% caramel vanilla ice cream. The family LOVED it!

      ReplyDelete
    39. Hi Gina - I looooove your site! Do you happen to know the updated PointsPlus for this recipe? Apple Crisp is one of my favorites.

      Thanks!!

      ReplyDelete
    40. Mmm definitely making this tonight!!

      ReplyDelete
    41. I am going to make this, but I saw that I can use honey instead of the agave, how much should I use?

      ReplyDelete
    42. You can use the same amount as you would agave or you could use sugar.

      ReplyDelete
    43. Made it and the whole family loved it!!! Only thins was I didn't have enough topping to cover the apples so I had to double that part... that shot the calories per serving up, but it is very filling!

      ReplyDelete
    44. Its in the oven now. But, i noticed it gives the points and not point +. Any change

      ReplyDelete
    45. I'd also like to know the points plus? Thanks! Love all your recipes!

      ReplyDelete
    46. We just went apple picking this morning! This would be a perfect recipe to use up our bushel of apples!

      ReplyDelete
    47. Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats? I want to make this tomorrow but only have quick oats...Thanks

      ReplyDelete
    48. Gina,
      I made this for dessert tonight. It was delicious!! Do you know how many points plus it is? I like using agave instead of sugar when I can. Thanks for the great recipes.

      ReplyDelete
    49. Hello Gina! I've probably made 50 of your recipes, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I'm having company tomorrow and plan on making this for dessert, can you tell me how many PointsPlus it is? Or the fat, carbs, fiber, protein?

      Thank you!!!!

      ReplyDelete
    50. This looks great! We are going apple picking this weekend and will be making this with the fresh apples when we get home. I personally don't like raisins so I will be leaving them out but this looks amazing:) Thank you

      ReplyDelete
    51. did anyone ever get the points plus for this recipe?? I would love to try it but would like the pp before I do!!!

      ReplyDelete
    52. This was awesome! I substituted smart balance for the butter and cranberries for the raisens. I also added walnuts...and topped it with fat free cool whip. Total heaven!

      ReplyDelete
    53. I calculated the Points Plus and it appears thats its 5 points per serving, if the serving is 1/8 the recipe.

      ReplyDelete
    54. I made this today along with your Crock Pot Minestrone. Not only do you help me use all of my coop veggies and fruits, you have made my world a better place. I am finally able to cook one meal for all of us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This Italian Family Thinks You ROCK!!!

    55. I made this one over the weekend, and it was fabulous. My husband had seconds and was thrilled with it. Thank you! You are amazing! I wanted to do the apple cobbler, but this one sounded so much easier. :-) I hate peeling apples and truthfully have not done it in years, but I think it was totally worth it!

      ReplyDelete
    56. I made this last week and it is GREAT! Next time we are using cranberries instead of raisins.yum!

      ReplyDelete
    57. I made this as a practice round for thanksgiving and someone suggested that I add nutmeg. Has anyone gotten this from anyone or added it?

      ReplyDelete
    58. Yummy! I made this today and it my house smells wonderful! It tasted so good and was very easy to make!!

      ReplyDelete
    59. Shoot! I messed this one up. I got distracted & forgot to add the melted butter to the crumb topping. Saw it after I put it in the oven so I had to pour the butter over the top & kinda mix it up a bit. The filling was yummy but the topping was off texture-wise. I will be trying this again & paying attention next time! To the person who was curious about the nutmeg, I think that's just a personal preference thing. :)

      ReplyDelete
    60. Im baking this as we speak! Cant wait to try it! I made 3 of your recipes today for Thanksgiving! Thank you SOOOO much for your variety!! I LOVE everything I've made so far!! :)

      ReplyDelete
    61. I just made this today and it was SO delicious!! I topped with some 2% greek yogurt and it honestly did not taste "light" at all!
