Caramel Apple Crisp
(makes 4 servings, 122 grams per serving)

Ingredients
6 medium apples (540 grams after peeled and sliced)
I can't believe its not butter spray
10 tsp ( 40 grams) brown sugar
2 graham crackers (whole crackers)
1 cup Kashi GoLean cereal
38 grams Smuckers Sugar Free Caramel
Cinnamon


Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees

1) Peel, core and slice apples.

2) Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick. Then spread apple slices in dish (should lay almost flat without much overlapping)

3) In a bowl mix brown sugar and a tsp of cinnamon. Spray top of apples with butter spray (enough so that the sugar mix has something to stick to)...and sprinkle all of the sugar/cinnamon mix over apples.

4) Bake apples 45 minutes - 1 hour, or until slightly soft.

5) Crumble Kashi Cereal and graham crackers together, add 1 tsp of cinnamon, mix.

6) When apples are done baking transfer them to a smaller pan (8x8 or I used a a glass pie dish). Cover graham cracker/cereal mix. Spray top with butter spray until evenly coated (doesn't have to be soaked).

7) Bake for an additional 20 minutes until crust is crispy and baking together.

8) Drizzle with a little caramel (I only used 1 serving total for crust & over the ice cream later) and Serve

I compared mine to Dennys Apple Crisp...(in a guesstimation sort of way).

Mine came out to 335 calories for about 8 oz (including ice cream & caramel)

Dennys came out to 440 est. for 8 oz (including ice cream & caramel) -- (BUT their actual serving is 13oz and 770 calories, just throwing that out there so no one eats a whole one thinking its 440 calories!)

So really...in the end I only saved about 100 calories. What a bummer.

Was kind of disappointed. But overall I think it was worth the 335 calories, it was pretty filling on its own, and it wasn't lacking in the crust department (which is what I dislike about most "light" versions of deserts)

    Silly gooses! Dessert's not supposed to be filling...

    Neurotic Virgo - this looks like a yummy fall treat! And with the Kashi cereal, it's probably got a decent bit of nutrition in it too. :)

    I think if I try it again I might obly use half the brown sugar... I could probably shave some more off if I cut down the crust, but that's my favorite part, sorta feels like it wouldn't be as good. Lol
