Best Apples for Apple Crisp
You can use almost any apple you like, which makes this a great “use what you have” recipe. For this apple crisp dessert, I used a mix of:
- Cosmic Crisp apples
- Honeycrisp apples
Both hold their shape well and provide the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Other great options include Gala, Fuji, or even Granny Smith if you like a more tart apple crunch dessert.
Zero Point Apple Crisp Ingredients
This zero point apple crisp uses just a few simple ingredients:
- 2 apples, diced
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Swerve brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of oats (optional)
That’s it. No flour, no butter, no refined sugar, which is why this works so well as a low-point apple crisp dessert.
How to Make Zero Point Apple Crisp
This recipe is cooked on the stovetop, making it faster than baked apple crisp and perfect for busy days.
- Dice two apples into small chunks.
- Add apples to a pot over medium heat.
- Stir in cinnamon and Swerve brown sugar.
- Cook until the apples are soft and slightly saucy.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Add a pinch of oats if desired.

This method creates a soft, cinnamon-spiced apple filling similar to classic apple crisp apple filling, but without the traditional crumble topping.
Make It Without Oats (Gluten-Free Option)
If you prefer an applesauce crisp style texture or need a gluten-free option, simply leave out the oats. This creates a smooth, comforting apple base that’s:
- Gluten-free
- Sugar-free
- SCD-diet friendly
You still get all the flavor of an easy apple crisp dessert without the crunch.
