Recipe

Fresh Apple or Pear Crisp

(makes 2 servings)

Reprinted from The Joslin Diabetes Quick & Easy Cookbook (Fireside/Simon & Schuster, November 1998)

This versatile recipe can be switched with different fruit combinations; try apples with raspberries, pears with blackberries, or next summer, apricots with blueberries. It's the kind of recipe you'll use again and again--dessert couldn't be easier or tastier!

1 1/2tablespoons (13 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
1tablespoon (5 g) rolled oats
1tablespoon (12 g) reduced-fat margarine

  2. Combine the fruits with the lemon juice and zest. Divide evenly between the two dessert cups.
  3. Using a fork or your fingers, combine the sugar substitute, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, rolled oats, and margarine to make a crumble topping. Sprinkle on top of the fruit. Bake until crisp and the fruit is cooked, about 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm.
