Sugar-Free Cranberry Apple Crisp Recipe
Let’s face it; eating sugary desserts is a major no, especially when you are on a diet. What I like about using Weight Watchers is that it isn’t so much about saying no to your favorite foods, but about a lifestyle change that helps you to live more in moderation and think about what you are putting into your body.

Sugar Substitute Options
Because I am working to better my health, that means I am more aware of what I put into my body. When I decided to make this recipe, I chose to substitute the regular granulated sugar with stevia instead. For my personal tastes, stevia works best for baking. Of course, many others prefer a different option. Test out different sugar substitutes until you find the one that you prefer.
If you are watching sugar intake for health reasons like diabetes, make sure to test after you use these as some will affect your glucose differently. Remember, it doesn't matter as much which one you prefer, as long as it works with your dietary needs.
How to Serve Cranberry Apple Crisp
I love eating any fruit crisp with sugar-free ice cream. Of course, warming it up also makes it super yummy. You can definitely enjoy this both hot or cold with whipped cream, ice cream, or just by itself.
Tip: If you have sugar-free caramel syrup or sauce available, it's perfect to drizzle over the top as an added sweetener.
