Mommy Perfect brings you a full flavor, super simple, and super low calorie desert recipe that you can enjoy guilt-free: Skinny and Simple Apple Crisp.
Like every other normal person, I love desert. I would eat it after every meal if I could. Unfortunately, like every other normal person, I can’t. If I did I would become enormous, develop type-2 diabetes, and die young of heart disease. So in the interest of living a long, happy, healthy life I choose to eat sensibly and exercise often.
Rather than feel guilty about eating an occasional desert, I developed this skinny and simply apple crisp recipe. It’s a full flavor desert, with truly healthy ingredients, even my kids can’t tell that its good for them. Plus its SO easy to make — you can prepare this dish in 5 minutes (not counting bake time).
See my guide How to Use 10 Common Apple Varieties for help choosing which apples to use. Or just use Granny Smith which are always a reliable baking apple.
One of the most ubiquitous flavors of the fall is pumpkin (obviously). Most pumpkin flavored foods are, fortunately or unfortunately, sweet desert items. But pumpkin is versatile enough to be savory as well, and a warm, creamy, pumpkin soup on a cool autumn day is delightful. Most pumpkin soup recipes however are either a huge chore to prepare or loaded with curry (a flavor that I personally don’t associate with fall harvest).
Here is my super easy version of pumpkin soup.
I suggest Granny Smith apples for this pumpkin soup, but if you want to try a different apple, I have a list of 10 common apple varieties and their uses, to help figure out which ones you might want to try.
