Autumn has me thinking about apples! Oh how I love apples. I’ve recently been toying with the idea of trying new varieties. I’m usually a tart apple kind of gal. I used granny smith in this recipe, but you could use whatever kind of apple you want. You’ll love how these have all the apple crumble flavor, but it doesn’t affect the waistline like a regular high fat crumble would!
They’re great to make ahead for a grab-n-go snack…
I enjoy having them with a cup of hot tea. They can also be made with or without the added protein. This recipe would be a great addition to your children’s lunchbox.
