Fall is upon us and the apple trees are overflowing with sweet goodness.
I have more fresh organic apples than we can eat. So I go about making apple sauce for the kids and apple pies for everyone that will take one. The entire time I'm thinking, I eat more than anyone in this house, I must find a way to incorporate these apples into my diet.
And just like all recipes I create, I set my mind to make a healthy, high-protein, sweet apple dish.
I decided on apple crumble because I immediately knew I could substitute in some healthy ingredients and I could almost taste this crumble thrown into my morning bowl of oatmeal or served over some Greek yogurt. I got this one perfect on the first try.It only lasted one night as the entire family gobbled it up. Ive made it a few times now and thought I should share with you all.
