Single Serve Apple Crisp

On cold winter nights, you just want a warm, comforting dessert. But baking up a whole pie or other type of warm dessert isn’t always effective for weight loss goals. Having large servings in the house can increase temptation and be a downfall to some. That’s where this single serve apple crisp comes in. It’s sweet, but low in Weight Watchers points. It’s warm and comforting, but easy to make. And it’s the perfect amount of sweetness to calm the sweet tooth without increasing cravings. 

Single Serve Apple Crisp is so simple to make, and it’s easy to keep the ingredients stocked for nights when you just need a little something sweet. Apples, oats, cinnamon, brown sugar, and unsweetened applesauce are the only ingredients needed. Once these are mixed, you can have a delicious single serve apple crisp in under 30 minutes. Let’s get to the recipe. 

Three reasons why you need to make this recipe!

Who doesn’t love a freshly baked apple crisp?

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. 

You can keep yourself on track with your diet. 

There are no lingering leftovers that will tempt you with this recipe! You won’t even worry about going back for unnecessary second helpings.

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.
