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!

New! Viral Shaved Fruit Ice I am late to the game New! Viral Shaved Fruit Ice

I am late to the game but needed to try this trending shaved fruit ice idea by @littlefatboyfrankie

It is super refreshing and a fun way to use up seasonal fruit you may have laying around (hello peach season!). 

This is my take on this delicious idea, rainbow sherbet using clementines, kiwi and strawberries. Follow me @thedietitianfeed for more delicious recipes! 

Ingredients:
* 1 clementine, peeled 
* 1 large strawberry
* 1 kiwi, peeled
* Optional: whipped cream, sweetened condensed milk, finely chopped nuts

Method:
1. Freeze the fruit, or fruit of choice overnight or until frozen solid, about 8 hours. 
2. Option to place your serving bowl in the freezer or fridge to chill before serving, as the shaved ice starts to melt quickly. 
3. Using a microplane, grate your frozen fruit into the chilled bowl. 
4. Top with whipped cream, or toppings of choice like the sweetened condensed milk, chopped nuts like almonds or pistachios. 
5. Enjoy immediately!

Honey Dijon Salmon @thedietitianfeed Sheet pan me Honey Dijon Salmon @thedietitianfeed

Sheet pan meals are always a go to during busy weeks. This one does not disappoint!
Like and save this post to make later and follow me @thedietitianfeed for more delicious, healthy recipes!

Ingredients:
Maple Dijon Sauce:
*  ¼ cup dijon mustard
*  2 tbsp maple syrup
*  1 tbsp lemon juice, or apple cider vinegar
*  1 clove garlic, minced
*  1 tbsp olive oil
*  Freshly cracked black pepper
*  Pinch salt
Other:
*  1 large head broccoli, cut into bite size pieces (including most of the stems)
*  1 lb mini round potatoes, sliced in half
*  2 salmon filets (or 1 large piece of salmon)

Method:
1.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.  Stir together the ingredients for the maple dijon sauce. Place the chopped potatoes in a mixing bowl and add about 2 tbsp of the sauce to the bowl, mix well.
3. Place the potatoes on the lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. While that cooks, add the broccoli to the same mixing bowl and add about 2 tbsp of sauce to the broccoli, mix well and set aside. I like using the stems of the broccoli as well by peeling the tougher outer layer, then roughly dicing the stem. 
4. Use the remaining sauce to marinate the salmon. Place the salmon and sauce in a shallow bowl and allow to marinate until the potatoes are finished baking. Once the potatoes have baked, add the broccoli and salmon to the same sheet and bake for another 15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flaky. Serve while hot. Enjoy!
