Whole Foods Apple Crisp
Apple Crisp is a classic fall dessert, one that always reminds me of the those fall days at the apple orchard with my family. This apple crisp is a spin off more traditional apple crisp recipes, using just whole foods ingredients, such as dates and raisins instead of sugar for the sweeteners. It’s a delicious wholesome dessert packed full of flavor and texture!
Pair it with banana nice cream for a wholesome tasty creamy topping—or if you want to expand beyond whole food eating, pair it with a scoop of your favorite non-dairy ice cream.
Perfectly sweet and a tasty way to use up those apples.
