Lo-cal Fruit Crisp (no sugar added!)
I love sweets, but I try to avoid processed sugar. The only sweetness you’ll find in this simple and healthy recipe is from fresh fruit mixed with some delicious spices. (New updated recipe below from November 2020 adds walnuts and coconut oil vs. butter)
Ingredients
- 4-6 sweet large apples (Jazz, Fuji, etc.) approx. 3 c., peeled and diced
- 2 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 c. pineapple, diced (fresh or canned in its own juice and drained - you can also use frozen blueberries if you prefer)
- 1 c. unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 tsp. allspice
- 1 tsp. lemon extract
- coconut oil
- coconut oil spray
- Topping Ingredients:
- 1/4 c. organic unrefined cold-pressed extra virgin coconut oil (make sure it's in solid form).

Topping Directions
In a bowl:
