Although I am not much of a dessert fan, my husband loves sweets! He can't walk past a candy dish without grabbing a snack, or pass up dessert if it is offered to him. And although he thinks I don't know, I find candy wrappers in the laundry and other places, and since they aren't mine, I can only assume they are his. I went on a mission to create the perfect Vegan Apple Crisp Recipe.
I don't keep sweets in the house to save him from himself. I do, though, on occasion make dessert, that I consider less offensive than what he would eat if left to his own accord.
Engine 2 makes an Apple Pumpkin Granola that has 31 grains, is low sodium and contains no added oils. Its 100 percent whole grain with no GMOs. Add apples and some other goodies, and you have a hearty, heart-healthy vegan apple crisp recipe that tastes like the real Mccoy.
If you are on a low-fat diet, skip the vegan ice cream. That is how I ate mine, and I was just as happy as my husband who said nothing other than "Oh my god this is good."
