This Apple Crisp is naturally gluten-free and can easily be made vegan with a few simple substitutions.

Ingredients
  

Crisp Topping

  • 1/2 cup oat flour From about 3/4 cup oat blended into a flour
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cut into small cubes

Apple Filling

  • 5 medium apples, thinly sliced-about 6 cups Honey Crisp or McIntosh apples are great in this recipe!
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch nutmeg (optional)
  • Pinch salt

Peanut Butter Salted Caramel

  • 1/4 cup smooth natural peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • Generous pinch sea salt

Instructions
 

Make the Crisp Topping

  • Blend a heaping 1/2 cup rolled oats to get about 1/2 cup of oat flour. In a medium bowl mix together the oat flour, rolled oats, nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.
  • Add the cold cubed butter. Using your hands, incorporate the butter into the other ingredients until you get a mixture with pea-sized crumbs. The mixture will be crumbly and lump together if you squeeze it between your hands.
  • Place the crisp topping in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the rest of the recipe.

Make the Apple Filling

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 12 x 9 (or similar sized) baking dish.
  • Add the apples to the baking dish, sprinkling the cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla extract and maple syrup on top and mix together.
  • Top the apples with the refrigerated crisp topping. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the crisp topping is golden brown.

Make the Peanut Butter Salted Caramel

  • While the crisp cooks, make the peanut butter caramel. To a small microwave-safe bowl, add the ingredients for the peanut butter caramel and mix together.
  • Place the peanut butter salted caramel in the microwave for about 10 seconds to thin the mixture. Top the baked apple crisp with your favourite ice cream and drizzle the "caramel" on top. Enjoy!

Notes

Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days (if it’ll last that long uneaten!)
Make this recipe vegan easily by substituting vegan butter or coconut oil for the butter used in this recipe, and use dairy-free ice cream to top!

Tofu Stir Fry & Noodles
* 1 block extra firm tofu
* 1 tbsp sesame oil, divided
* pinch salt, pepper and garlic powder
* 200 g rice noodles of choice, cooked according to package directions
* 1 bunch green onions, white parts thinly sliced *Chop some of the greens for garnish

New! Strawberry Chia Seed Jam by @thedietitianfeed New! Strawberry Chia Seed Jam by @thedietitianfeed 

Am I really a dietitian if I don’t have a chia seed jam on my blog 😘

This Strawberry Chia Seed Jam only takes 10-15 minutes to make & is the perfect addition to you PB & J. 

Like & save this post to make later and follow me @thedietitianfeed for more delicious, nourishing recipes!

Chia seeds are incredibly nutrient packed, and this recipe is a fun way to use more of them! They pack in loads of fibre, vitamins & minerals like calcium and iron, omega 3-fatty acids and contain multiple antioxidants which promote good health. 

Use it for PB & J, top yogurt or smoothie bowls, stir into oatmeal or overnight oats, spread on baked goods. 

Ingredients: 
* 2 cups frozen or fresh sliced strawberries
* 2 tbsp chia seeds
* Juice of 1/2 a lemon
* 1-2 tbsp honey
* Pinch salt
Directions:
1. Heat a small/medium pot over medium heat. Add the strawberries and stir occasionally until they are softened and their juices start to release about 5-10 minutes depending if the berries are frozen or fresh.
2. Once they are very soft, mash them with a potato masher or fork until your desired consistency is reached. Heat for another 5 minutes until the juices start bubbling.
3. Stir in the chia seeds, lemon juice, honey and salt. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid while it cools. 
4. Once cooled add the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
