Fall apple season is here, and sometimes you just want apple crisp! I can do this one safely (in 1/2-cup servings) so I pass it along:

Apple Crisp for DIABETES

Serves: 6 to 8

· 6 medium apples, cored, peeled and thinly sliced
· 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
· 1 tablespoon sugar
· 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
· 1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
· 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
· 2 tablespoons reduced-fat margarine

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Coat a 9-inch microwave-safe pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the apples, 2 tablespoons flour, the sugar, and cinnamon; mix well.
3. Spoon into the pie plate and cover with waxed paper.
4. Microwave on high power for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the apples are soft.
5. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup flour, the oats, and brown sugar; mix well.
6. With a fork, blend in the margarine until crumbly; sprinkle over the apples.
7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
8. Serve warm.

Per 1/2 cup serving: 32 g carbohydrate, 3 g dietary fiber, 22 g sugars. 2 carbohydrate exchanges

    That does sound delicious, want to give it a try myself!

    1 Question....Do you know the calorie count?

    I didn't notice that in the post unless I missed it somewhere. Thanks for sharing! :)

    Sorry--the calorie count wasn't given and I've never figured it, as I have to deal mainly with carbs.

    That sounds really good. Two questions:

    1) What kind of apples would be best? Pink lady are my favorite to snack on because they're not too sweet, not too tart, and the perfect texture.

    2) Could I use maple and brown sugar flavored oatmeal?

    Tart apples are great, but if you can get Honey Crisp, those would be fabulous. Be careful with the flavored oatmeals, and check to see if they have added sugars in them.
