Delicious healthy apple crisp with Chia seeds baked in comforting brown sugar and Xylitol.
One of my favorite desserts is a good ol’ fashioned apple crisp. They are quick to throw together and sweet and savory to taste. Especially made with coconut oil. Instead of loads of brown sugar and butter I used honey and coconut oil with a sprinkle of pecans for added crunch. The honey makes this apple crisp with chia seeds super moist!
Two ways to make this apple crisp with chia seeds are to spread the filling in a 9×9 inch pan then sprinkle the topping on top, or core an apple and stuff it with the topping. Just add an extra 5 minutes to your cooking time when cooking the stuffed apple version. I also like to leave the skins on for added fiber and nutrition, but you can remove them before dicing if you prefer.
