So the weather has been a little crazy, don’t you think? August felt like October and now October feels a bit like the end of August. I’ll take it though because that just means I can enjoy two of my favorite things at the same time- swimming in the pool and apple season! Maybe we can go apple bobbing this fall in the pool?! Even if the weather is a little warm, I can’t help but crave everything apple right now. And at the top of my list is apple crisp. If I am being honest, as much as I love the apple part of apple crisp, it’s really the crisp part I could eat all day long. Unfortunately, that’s also the not-so-healthy part. Until now!

That’s right! I have decided to give apple crisp a bit of a makeover by creating this delicious healthy apple crisp stick recipe. It tastes just like apple crisp with may less added sugar and fat and the best part is you can eat it like a French fry! It really doesn’t get much better than that, does it? And a huge thank you and shout out to my friend Kristen of Kristen Rath Photography for this amazing recipe photo. If you are looking for a food stylist or photographer, she is your girl!
