The heady scent of cinnamon and apples coming from the oven makes my mouth water. I can’t resist apple crisp.

CAN’T. RESIST.

So I thought I should try to make a low carb apple crisp. It still has 9 grams of carbs per serving because apples are high in natural sugar.

However, I think it’s worth it 🙂 Even with 9 grams of net carbs, this recipe is a huge improvement from a traditional apple crisp which contains around 40 grams of carbs per serving. 40 grams!!!!

You could also substitute berries (strawberries, blackberries and/or raspberries) or peaches which are all lower in carbs than apples.

The crisp topping is made with flaked coconut along with almond flour and butter. It’s delicious!
