Fuji Apple Crisp
Ingredients
2 Quest Apple Pie Protein Bars
2 scoops Quest Salted Caramel Protein Powder, separated
24 oz. (approx 3) Fuji Apples, cored and diced
½ cup oats
½ cup Swerve Granular Erythritol, separated
1 bag Quest Sea Salt Protein Chips, crushed (inside the bag)
2 Tbsp. Sweet Spreads Cinnamon Roll Coconutter, melted
Dash cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper. Coat a cake pan with non-stick spray.
- On a microwave-safe plate, microwave both protein bars for 15 seconds. Transfer to prepared cookie sheet and pat down as flat as possible. Bake for 5 minutes and allow to cool. Break bars into small pieces.
- In a high-speed blender, process protein bar bits until into crumbs. Add protein chips and continue to process until crumbly.
- In a large bowl, combine crumb mixture, half a scoop of protein powder, oats, ¼ cup of erythritol, Sweet Spreads coconutter and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine apples with the remaining ¼ cup of erythritol and the remaining scoop and a half of protein powder.
- Transfer apple mixture to prepared cake pan and top with crumb mixture. Bake for 15.
