Apple Crumble

While Apple Crumble is a delicious dessert, it’s high in sugar and calories. However, apples are a good source of fiber and vitamin C. To make this dish healthier, you can reduce the sugar content in both the filling and topping. Consider using whole wheat flour and adding nuts like almonds or walnuts to the topping for healthy fats and extra nutrients. You could also increase the oats and decrease the flour for more fiber. For a lighter version, try using a sugar substitute and less butter in the topping. Remember, desserts like this can be part of a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation. Consider having a smaller portion and pairing it with a protein-rich food to help balance blood sugar levels.
