Apple crisp is delicious when it’s right out of the oven. That’s one of the best parts about this recipe – you can have it made fresh each night rather than having to reheat a large dish of it.

Different ways to change up this recipe:

For some added sweetness drizzle vanilla icing on top. To make a simple, zero point icing drizzle, mix a little bit of water with Swerve confectioners sugar. It adds sweetness without adding calories.
If you have the points for it, a dollop of no sugar added vanilla ice cream would be divine on top!
Try this with other fruits like peaches or pears. If you do use a softer fruit, reduce the cooking time to about 15-20 minutes.
Additionally, if you have room for an extra Weight Watchers point or two, you can swap the unsweetened applesauce for a light butter to add more flavor to this dessert.

Tips and Tricks for Making Single Serve Apple Crisp:

This dish doesn’t freeze well, but that’s okay because you’ll be making it fresh every time!
I do suggest using quick oats, not rolled oats, as it makes a finer crumb for the crisp. But you can place the rolled oats in a blender, if that’s all you have, and give it a quick whir to create quick oats.
