Healthful Strawberry, Blueberry and Apple Crisp

The ingredients speak for themselves in this one. Easy, healthy, fruit-filled goodness for any night o’ the week. I ate this straight out of the oven, standing in the kitchen with my roommates, arranging pickup line magnetic poetry on the fridge. I highly recommend doing that (or at least trying the crisp).

1 cup blueberries
1 cup strawberries, sliced
4 apples, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup rolled oats (make sure they’re certified gluten free)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar + 2 teaspoons (optional to sprinkle on top)

Preheat oven to 375º

1. Combine apples, blueberries, and strawberries in a small pot with 1 cup of water + 1 tablespoon lemon juice and a light drizzle of maple syrup. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes until fruit is starting to get tender.

2. Combine oats, maple syrup, cinnamon, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

3. Drain the liquid from the fruit and pour the fruit in a shallow baking pan. Top with the oat mixture and sprinkle some extra cinnamon and brown sugar on for a sweet crispy coating. Pop in the oven and cook for 30-35 minutes at 375º, until the apples are tender.

Great with a scoop of Coconut Bliss or your favorite dairy-free ice cream.
