Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling
- 2 cups chopped Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder
For the Topping
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon nut butter
- 1 teaspoon milk or water
Instructions
- Place 2 cups of chopped Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples into a bowl. Add 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup rolled oats and 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder. Add 1 tablespoon nut butter and 1 teaspoon milk or water. Stir until the mixture comes together into a textured topping.
- Transfer the prepared apple mixture to a baking dish or small oven-safe baking vessel. Spread the apples into an even layer, then add the oat topping over the apples.
- Place the assembled apple crisp in a preheated oven and bake according to the recipe’s intended baking time and temperature, until the apples are tender and the oat topping has developed a lightly crisp texture. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use Granny Smith apples for a tarter flavor or Honeycrisp for a naturally sweeter filling.
- Protein powders can vary in sweetness and absorbency, so the topping texture may differ slightly between brands.
- Let the crisp cool briefly after baking before serving so the filling can settle and the topping can retain its texture.
