There is no doubt that Fall is here. Cool sunny days are paired with winds that have a frosty edge missing just a few weeks ago. Leaves are changing, falling, waiting to be raked into colorful piles. And, while back-yard gardens may be winding down for winter, farmer’s markets are bursting with the season’s bounty. Pumpkins, kale, root vegetables of all kinds, and apples are plentiful. For many, cool days bring the desire to bake something homey and simple. Apple Crisp with it’s combination of flavorful apples, spicy cinnamon and a perfectly crisp topping combine into an amazing comforting dessert that will please any apple lover. To make Apple Crisp even better, we reduced the amount of sweetener found in the typical crisp and used our Way Better Simply Sweeet Potato Tortilla Chips in the topping. Using our spouted chips not only gives Apple Crisp the benefit of sprouted whole grains, but a crunchy sweet and salty topping that perfectly offsets the natural sweetness of cinnamon and apples. A warm dish of tender apples topped with crispy goodness can’t be beat on a cool Fall day. Serve alone, or topped with whipped cream, frozen yogurt, or your favorite non-dairy alternative. Happy baking!
