Hi there, I’m Kara! Founder of Life Well Lived, lover of allll things chocolate, obsessed with recreating recipes to be healthier, and creator of Transform: Nutrition Bootcamp {where I’ve helped hundreds of women transform their nutrition, lose weight, and change their lives}.
It’s fall and I can’t get enough of everything that comes with it: beautiful changing leaves, the crisp air, warm sweaters, and trips to the apple orchard. Whenever I think of fall, I immediately think of apple crisp. It is one of my favorite desserts. I love the warm, cinnamon smells and I could eat a whole bowl of the crisp topping.
Most apple crisp recipes have so much added sugars so I am happy to say that this one is refined sugar free – sweetened with only pure maple syrup. I promise, your friends and family won’t even know it’s a healthier version.
One thing that I really love about this recipe is how easy + simple it is to make. You can even prep it ahead of time and store in the fridge for a day or two. And when you’re ready to make it just pop it in the oven to bake.
This apple crisp has the perfect sweet, crisp topping with soft, cinnamon apples. The perfect dessert or breakfast {don’t you love when a dessert can act as a breakfast too?!}. The warm apple smell that will fill your house is enough of a reason to make this recipe.
