HI. I've had IBS for along time as well as several food allergies including an allery to processed sugar. (I've always been alergic to grass & guess what.. sugar cane is a grass...who knew...?)
Anyway I just wanted to share one of the few sugar free & safe recipes that I have when my IBS acts up.
Plus it just tasts really good. Originally my Mom's recipe, she had only ever added sugar to the topping so it just took a little trial & error to remove the sugar & still have the topping tast good. (I usually cram in as many apples as possible.)
I hope you enjoy. Can.
No Sugar Apple Crisp
7-8 peeled, cored, chopped apples
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp cinnamon, plus
1 tsp nutmeg, plus
1/3 cup soft butter
1-2 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce (or if you don't have any on hand simply chop & then mash some of the apple with a spoon)
Mix oats, flour, cinnamon, & nutmeg. Add butter & mix will with a fork. Then add enough applesause as needed to make mixture crumbly (it should not be powdery). Set aside.
Place Chopped apples in a casserole dish & sprinkle with cinnamon & nutmeg, mix well until all the slices are coated. Then add topping evenly over apples.
Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for at least 25 min. up to 1 hour depending on how big or small you slice the apples. You can check with a knife to see if the apples are soft/done and the topping is golden brown.

Just a quick note, for everyone else - butter is not IBS-safe, because it's a dairy product. Use soy or another form of safe margarine instead.
I'm going to give a crisp a try! I've actually been craving apple crisp, but I'm kind of on a diet and figured that a sugarless crisp wouldn't taste all that great. But you've convinced me!  Thanks for sharing!

Okay, this'll sound stupid  but how thick do you make it? Apple crisp is NOT a UK thing and I haven't a clue...an inch, half an inch, what?

And one I hope Candy will come back and answer, as it's her recipe, and it's been years since I've made a crisp.
But if I remember right, I used to put about this quantity of apples in an 8x8" dish, so it ends up somewhat thick. The apples can be on the thick side anyway; the topping is the only part that really gets "crisp".

I asked this the first time I made one because I didn't realize how far down the apples would cook...
but I have never made one with added sugar... and I have left off most of the butter too!
