When life gives you apples, you know exactly what to do! 😍 Here's why homemade apple crisps are worth making:
🍎 Keep the skin on: it holds a good part of the apple's fibre, which helps you feel full.
🍎 No added sugar: apples have their own natural sugar, and baking them makes them sweet and crunchy, with no frying needed.
🍎 Perfect for snacking: a different way to mix up your everyday snacks.
Tips to get them right:
- Fuji and Gala are the sweetest. Green apples have a tarter flavour.
- Slice them thinly and evenly so they bake at the same rate.
- Make 3 or 4 apples at once, as they shrink quite a lot in the oven.
For a more filling snack, pair them with natural yoghurt or nuts. They're also lovely on top of porridge or yoghurt.
How to store them?
Let them cool completely before putting them in an airtight container, away from moisture. If they lose their crunch, pop them back in the oven for a few minutes.
