Apple Pineapple Crisp No Sugar No Flour

I had a large amount of green apples to use but was looking for something without sugar or flour or butter. Tall order! This worked out pretty nicely. This is not decadent and will not convert anyone who usually only eats high fat sweets. But if you like fruit desserts that aren't too sweet, this is nice. It is sort of like baked apples without raisins and butter. I like it warm for breakfast with a dollop of fat free cool-whip, and my 3 year old devoured hers!

Looking for a guilt-free treat that satisfies your sweet tooth without the refined sugar? This Vegan Apple Pineapple Crisp is the perfect wholesome breakfast or dessert. Packed with the natural sweetness of crisp apples and tropical pineapple, this flourless, sugar-free recipe is a hit for both toddlers and adults alike. It’s a nutritious, fiber-rich dish that comes together in just 35 minutes.

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

  • 4 tart apples
  • 1 quick oatmeal
  • 1/2 oatmeal
  • 1/8 ground nutmeg
  • 1 banana

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

  2. Spray an 8X8 square baking dish with cooking spray.

  3. Peel, core, and slice the apples.

  4. Put them in the pan.

  5. Add the canned pineapple and mix it all together.

  6. Put the frozen banana in the microwave until it is defrosted and mushy.

  7. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, add the oatmeal and nutmeg and stir well.

  8. Peel the banana (it will be runny) and add it to the oatmeal.

  9. This will clump up and be very sticky.

  10. Put the oatmeal mixture on top of the apples.

  11. I use my hands but it is sticky and not real easy.

  12. You may, if you want, spray the top of the crisp with cooking spray or olive oil spray but I didn't find it made much difference.

  13. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the topping is starting to brown.

  14. Serve warm or cold.

Cook's notes

  • Choose a firm apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to ensure they maintain texture while baking.
  • For a golden-brown finish, broil the crisp for the final 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • Serve warm with a dollop of dairy-free coconut yogurt for an extra creamy tropical experience.

Easy swaps

  • Swap rolled oats for certified gluten-free oats if you have a sensitivity.
  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans to the topping if you want an extra crunch and healthy fats.
  • Use fresh pineapple chunks instead of canned for a brighter, more vibrant flavor profile.
