Just because I’m watching what I eat, that doesn’t mean I haven’t lost my sweet tooth. I am trying to tame it however. This is a very tart apple crisp thanks to the Granny Smith apples. If you’d like a sweeter taste, switch to Gala or another sweeter baking apple. Or add a tiny bit more sugar.

Low Calorie Recipes: Individual Apple Crisp Recipe
This is a very tart apple crisp which is perfect with a dollop of TruWhip (sold at Albertson's and Whole Foods as well as other markets in the frozen food aisle). If you won't be topping it, you may want to increase the granulated sugar - this will of course increase the calories.

If you haven’t tried TruWhip yet, you have no idea the deliciousness you’re missing out on. I found it in the freezer aisle of Albertson’s and it’s a frozen whipped topping without artificial flavors. I prefer it frozen and often eat a tablespoon as a snack from from the freezer – it satisfies my ice cream addiction as well.
