This was delicious! I am definitely adding this to one of my favorites–for me. My kids and husband, however, felt that it wasn’t sweet enough. I think I’d add a bit more honey or maybe some brown sugar? (only in their portion)

I, however, will be making this for me to eat while my kids eat their Quaker oatmeal packets, which are terribly sweet in my opinion! Hopefully, they’ll come over to my side eventually!

I also ‘healthed’ it up by using whole wheat flour, cut the butter in half and substituted canola oil and sprinkled some flaxseed meal in with the oats. . .Yum!

Thank you for the lovely idea! I keep homemade granola in my pantry so I was inspired by your recipe. I often eat berries/yogurt/granola in the summer and miss that combination in the winter. This is great seasonal variation that will be part of my regular fall/winter breakfast rotation.

I threw this together while the coffee was brewing. I made a small portion for two from one apple. I did not add any sugar. I microwaved the apple and lemon juice until softened. Mixed in the cornstarch and cinnamon, topped with granola and popped it into the toaster oven. I sweetened some greek yogurt with agave while it was baking and everything was ready at the same time. Easy enough to do on a busy morning. Thank you!

Made this delicious apple crisp yesterday and it’s fantastic! I skipped the corn starch and added an extra 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon (I love cinnamon), and it turned out wonderfully. I did end up covering the dish with foil for about 10 minutes because the crisp was browning too much, and ended up cooking for about 45 minutes. Wish there was a way to reduce the amount of butter, but regardless, it’s very yummy. The minimal sugar and usage of honey worked out perfectly. Once again, another delicious recipe. Thanks!

Tonight’s my second time making the crisp. My two daughters love it and didn’t even notice it’s not nearly as sweet as my old dessert crisp recipe. It’s been a great addition to my weekday breakfasts to speed up the get-to-school process while still ensuring a good meal. Thanks! Your website is great!

ok – so i’m posting again a few hours later. But – I brought the rest (90%) of this in for work this morning. Devoured with yummmms echoing in the halls. Saved a bit for myself and stirred it into my morning oatmeal. Sounds a bit recursive, but it’s wonderful. You rock.

Made this tonight. I love that it’s not too sweet. Followed the recipe except I didn’t have any almonds, so I left them out. I wish I’d had them, because I’m sure they would have been delicious. I also had a problem with the topping burning at 40 minutes and it’s clearly the coconut that burned.

Thanks for the lovely recipe. Next time I”ll probably sprinkle the coconut on top of the apples and then put the rest of the topping on top.

I made this crisp last night and had it this morning with yogurt! I love it with the almonds and coconut. For breakfast this morning was great…maybe tonight with ice cream will be better! This is a keeper recipe :)
