Apple Pistachio Crisp Recipe

Make Half Your Plate Fruits & Veggies

Fruit-based desserts can contribute to making your plate half fruits and veggies. True to their name, Honeycrisp apples are sweet and crunchy, perfectly delicious raw, but also ideal in baking. And their sweetness lends potential to reducing added sugar, as we did with this apple crisp.
