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.

You read my mind with this recipe! I have a ton of apples from my in-laws tree- this will be a great treat! :) Cant wait to make it!
ReplyDeleteYum! What a great fall treat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect fall dessert! My family would love this one.
ReplyDeleteSo much crisp topping. Yum! That is, and always will be, the best part. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree! The crisp is the best part in my opinion :)
ReplyDeleteWhere do you find agave nectar?
ReplyDeleteWhole Foods has it and also found it at Costco for much cheaper
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious. I love apples and cinnamon. Great for Fall!
ReplyDeleteYou can get agave nectar at Trader Joes, but recently I have spotted it at WalMart Supercenters.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this awesome site! I'm sort of a blog queen myself, so if you ever need anything at all please let me know! I just restarted my WW journey tonight (well tomorrow that is). My friend shared this site with me! WoW WoW WoW WoW WoW!
ReplyDeleteHere's to all of us losers!

Yum! Cannot wait to try this out!
ReplyDeletethis 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?
ReplyDeleteNot sure, I've never used pear nectar before.
ReplyDeleteNice, 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!)
ReplyDeleteRe: Agave Nectar - I haven't found any localy, so I just substitute honey in Gina's fabulous recipes.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to make this one!
YIKES! It all looks so GOOD!!!! One more thing, do you have a recipe anywhere for bread pudding??? We absolutely LOVE it, but woould like a low low fat and sugar version, and you are the one for the job!! Thanks!! Visit my blog!

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!
ReplyDeleteDoes 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!
ReplyDeleteThanks
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.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you are using sweet apples opposed to tart ones, you should be fine.
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!

ReplyDeleteI love the smell of baked apples on a cold day! Glad you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteGina - 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 :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure maple syrup was great! Honey or brown sugar would be a great replacement for agave nectar.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gina.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and all of your recipes.
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!
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
ReplyDeletehi Gina,
ReplyDeleteim a raw foodist in singapore and agave nectar isnt sold here. could i use raw honey?
Yes, raw honey is fine!
ReplyDeleteI 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!!!
ReplyDeleteThis 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!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I'm all about pies and crisps with ice cream myself!
ReplyDeleteI just made this today. Even picky eaters ate it. Yum. Thanks Gina! -Jamie
ReplyDeleteWould using apples other than granny smith work, or would you suggest making other alterations?
ReplyDeleteHoney Crisp, Empire, Gala, or Braeburn apples would all be great!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteJust 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!
ReplyDeleteDo you know what the carb count is?
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!! 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!
ReplyDeleteHi Gina - I looooove your site! Do you happen to know the updated PointsPlus for this recipe? Apple Crisp is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
Mmm definitely making this tonight!!
ReplyDeleteI am going to make this, but I saw that I can use honey instead of the agave, how much should I use?
ReplyDeleteYou can use the same amount as you would agave or you could use sugar.
ReplyDeleteMade 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!
ReplyDeleteIts in the oven now. But, i noticed it gives the points and not point +. Any change
ReplyDeleteI'd also like to know the points plus? Thanks! Love all your recipes!
ReplyDeleteWe just went apple picking this morning! This would be a perfect recipe to use up our bushel of apples!
ReplyDeleteCan I use quick oats instead of rolled oats? I want to make this tomorrow but only have quick oats...Thanks
ReplyDeleteYes, quick oats are fine.
ReplyDeleteGina,
ReplyDeleteI 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.
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?
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!!
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
ReplyDeletedid anyone ever get the points plus for this recipe?? I would love to try it but would like the pp before I do!!!
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
ReplyDeleteI calculated the Points Plus and it appears thats its 5 points per serving, if the serving is 1/8 the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI 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!!!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI made this last week and it is GREAT! Next time we are using cranberries instead of raisins.yum!
ReplyDeleteI made this as a practice round for thanksgiving and someone suggested that I add nutmeg. Has anyone gotten this from anyone or added it?
ReplyDeleteYummy! I made this today and it my house smells wonderful! It tasted so good and was very easy to make!!
ReplyDeleteShoot! 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. :)
ReplyDeleteIm 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!! :)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to making this next week for dinner company! All of your recipes are wonderful! If I leave out the raisins (my husband isn't a fan) should I add more apples or leave the recipe as is??
ReplyDeleteMaking this tonight. Thanks, Gina! As for the agave nectar, if you have an Ocean State Job Lots around, they sell it, and at a really good price!
ReplyDeleteI made this tonight to use up some of our apples from apple picking, and it is so good! I used a combination of honey and brown sugar in place of the agave nectar and it tastes amazing. Perfect treat for a fall evening, thanks Gina! :)
ReplyDeleteDo you have a recommendation for the low fat vanilla ice cream?
ReplyDeleteDELICIOUS! In love with this recipe
ReplyDeleteWhat size baking dish should I use for this?
ReplyDeleteIt fit nicely in a 9 in pie pan for me!
DeleteGina,
ReplyDeleteI have just discovered your site a few days ago and I already KNOW I will be making lots of meals/desserts from it!
This recipe looks amazing. My questions is: could I just use regular all-purpose flour for this? I do not have whole-wheat flour. I plan to make this for a "Thanksgiving feast" at work next week!
I wanted to ask a similar question to Anonymous above----I have some almond meal and buckwheat flour in the house. I am just starting to experiment more with baking/cooking and such so would you be able to describe how that would alter the taste? I think the almond meal would be fine, but buckwheat I have found already has a unique texture/flavor. I'm thinking I will make this for the family Thanksgiving dinner.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great dessert – actually one of the best I've tried. My family loved it. Now my nephews have another fave sweet treat other than chocolates. Thanks for this.
ReplyDeleteIm not much of a baker, I prefer to cook. I made this last night, it didnt have much crisp not sure what I missed. Yet my family enjoyed it.
