Is your Dessert TOO SWEET?

I wanted to make a tasty “CRISP” that did not have overly abundant amount of sugar. Not sure why some recipes are loaded with sugar. A friend commented about apple crisp recipes (not mine):-She decreased the brown sugar to 1/2 cup ( 50% less) and increased the oats to a scant cup. Also, she was gifted with a basket of pears and substituted pears for apples. Plus added a handful of slivered almonds. I feel the flavors were better with the decrease of sugar. I have made this for several gatherings and it has been quite a hit.

VARIATIONS: Get Creative!

It’s fun coming up with different fruit and vegetable combinations. Squash and apple always paired well together. Make this recipe, add walnuts and fill your acorn squash and bake as usual.

    I do like this a little on the tart side…my wife keeps asking me if there’s enough sugar in the homemade cranberry relish we made a year or two ago. I tell her it’s just fine! Boy that crisp looks GOOD! Any leftovers from the photo shoot?????? 😀
