Crujiente de Manzana

The topping spread did not cover all the apples and I even made more than what the instructions said! Also every apple crisp I have had, the apples were in a wet glaze, these are completely dry. I won't be making this version again.

I made this recipe twice. The first batch was this recipe followed to a tee. The second batch was my spin on this recipe.

The first batch was far too dry, the texture was off putting, but it was tasty enough for me to want to try it again. This time on my own terms.

I made a few changes to the second batch but I kept the recipe healthy with even fewer calories than the original recipe.

I swapped the following ingredients:
• all-purpose flour for coconut flour
• margarine for Smart Balance butter
• red apples for honeycrisp apples.

I added the following ingredients
• 2 cups of unsweetened applesauce
• 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts

Rather than layering the apples and brown sugar mixture, I mixed all the ingredients together, baked it for 30 minutes on 375° F, let it cool, and topped each 1/2 cup serving with 2 tablespoons of Fat Free Reddi Wip Whipped Cream.

The second batch was beautiful, golden brown, warm, rich, creamy, sweet and savory. The walnuts gave the creamy desert a nice crunch. The sweet honeycrisp apples had the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The butter melted nicely over the brown sugar and cinnamon sending a mouth watering aroma throughout my entire home. This desert was a hit at my Thanksgiving dinner. I'm looking forward to making this dessert for my family again.

This was VERY delicious! I had to double the crust recipe after the initial recipe amount wasn’t enough to cover the 5 cups of apples and I’m so glad I did. This was delicious and I’ll definitely make it again.

This recipe was ok. It tastes good, but it was really dry. There is noting to give it moisture. Even with the dryness, I will be making this again. I just need to find something I can add to make it a little more moist.
