Recipe Notes

I was able to reduce this recipe by 3 SmartPoints by substituting canola oil for butter (also making this dessert dairy-free), reducing the total amount used and reducing the amount of flour used in the topping.

The original recipe was a little too sweet for me with too much crumble topping. After making less topping and substituting Truvia for the white and brown sugars, I thought the sweetness level was much better and the apple mixture was better balanced with the topping and didn't get overwhelmed.

Try making Cranberry Apple Crisp by mixing in some chopped dried cranberries with the apples before cooking.
