Healthy Thanksgiving Recipe Series: Lightened Up Apple Pie

Healthy Thanksgiving Recipe Series - Lightened Up Apple Crisp

By: Samantha McCarthy MS, RD/LDN

My final recipe for Thanksgiving is, of course, dessert. We can�t forget about the most important course right? If you are like me, I�m not a huge pie person. Traditional Thanksgiving desserts just don�t do it for me. If I�m going to have to dessert, it better be something worth my calories. This Lightened Up Apple Crisp recipe from Spark Recipes is definitely worth my calories. I�m not a big sweets person (I love salt though), but this dessert hits the spot for me. It�s not too heavy after a large Thanksgiving meal, but feels indulgent. On top of that, it�s easy! Enjoy :)
