Healthy High Protein Apple Crisp
A cozy, cinnamon-spiced apple crisp with a nutty oat and protein topping that fits into a healthy, high protein routine.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup apple peeled, cored, and diced small
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 drop lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder divided
- 1 tbsp nut butter almond or peanut
- 1 tsp milk or water
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe ramekin or dish.
- Add the diced apple to the ramekin.
- Sprinkle the apple with cinnamon, lemon juice, salt, and 1 tbsp of the vanilla protein powder, then stir to coat the apple pieces evenly.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tbsp vanilla protein powder, nut butter, rolled oats, and milk or water.
- Stir the topping mixture until it forms a thick, clumpy texture that holds together when pressed.
- Use your fingers or a fork to break the topping into small chunks and scatter them evenly over the apple mixture in the ramekin without packing it down firmly.
- Place the ramekin on a baking sheet and bake for 18–20 minutes, until the apples are tender and the topping is lightly golden and smells toasty.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- Use very small apple pieces so they soften fully during the short bake time.
- You can use plant-based or whey vanilla protein powder; choose one you enjoy the flavor of.
