FAQs
What makes the Medical Medium apple crisp so healthy?
The Medical Medium's crisp uses healing spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to reduce inflammation. It also excludes butter and refined sugar in favor of natural date paste and coconut oil for sweetness and binding power.
Can you make substitutions in the apple crisp recipe?
Feel free to experiment with different apple varieties in the filling. You can also use almond flour or almond meal in place of the oats if you need it to be nut-free. Stick to approved ingredients for sweetening and binding though.
Should you completely cover the apple filling?
The oat crumble topping should completely cover the apples in an even layer for proper texture and appearance. Heap it slightly mounded in the center if needed to distribute evenly.
How do you store and reheat leftover apple crisp?
You can store tightly wrapped leftover crisp in the fridge for 4-5 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or conventional oven until warmed through before enjoying again.
