Apple Crisp

Everyone seems to have a recipe for 'apple crisp'....and most are full of butter, sugar and all things tasty...yes...but not so good for you.  Why take something so naturally good for you, like an apple, and make it unhealthy??!? 
This revised, much healthier version of the original is low calorie and let me tell you.....Does. Not. Skimp. on taste!!! Trust me when I tell you that every bite is pure YUM!  It tastes bad for you, but it's not!

4 large apples, skin on, diced
1/8 cup almonds, chopped
1/8 cup raisins
3 tbsps. whole old fashioned oats
4 tbsps. pancake mix
2 tbsps. turbinado cane sugar 
1 1/2 tsps. lemon juice
1/2 tbsp. butter
honey

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
  • In a bowl, combine apples, almond, raisins, 2 tbsps. of pancake mix, lemon juice and a drizzle of honey.  Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
  • In a small bowl, combine oats, sugar , butter and 2 tbsps. of pancake mix.  This is your crumb topping. 
  • Spray a 9 inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray.  Pour the apple mixture into the pie pan. 
  • Sprinkle the crumb topping over the apples. 
  • Cover with tin foil and bake for 25 minutes.  Uncover and bake for another 20 minutes. 
This recipe yields 4 generous servings.
