When the weather turns crisp and cool, I crave a house that smells like autumnal, warm spices. This sesame oat apple crisp fits the bill perfectly. The topping is studded with sesame seeds and rolled oats, giving this crisp a delicious nutty aroma and perfectly chewy texture. It's filled with the season’s best apples and tossed with Swerve (my go-to alternative sweeteners when I want to add flavor without the carbs and calories), warm spices, and lemon juice, creating a marriage of salty and sweet, nutty and delicious.
Ingredients
Filling
Crisp
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
To make the filling:
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, Brown Swerve, Swerve Granular, corn starch, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, lemon juice, and salt. Toss until thoroughly coated. Transfer the mixture to an 8x8-inch baking dish. Set aside.
To make the crisp topping:
In the same bowl (no need to clean it out), add the rolled oats, sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, flour, Brown Swerve, Swerve Granular, and kosher salt; mix until combined. Pour in the melted butter and vanilla. Mix until everything is thoroughly combined.
Pour the topping atop the filling and smooth it out into an even layer. Transfer to the oven to bake for about 45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Serve with Swerved vanilla ice cream.
