Do you have a good apple crisp recipe? - and other healthy desserts

[J G]

I'm looking for easy healthy dessert recipes. I like fruit crisps, but the oatmeal topping always gets soft. Do you have a good recipe for it or any other "healthy" sweets?!!

Hey, here's one....


Yogurt "Cheesecake" with Strawberries and Pineapple Syrup
Created by Rozanne Gold

The startling contrast of flavors, colors and textures fools you into thinking you're eating a rich slice of cheesecake, but thanks to the yogurt—you can use regular or low fat—this dessert is rich, creamy and healthy.


Ingredients:Serves 4


1 container (32 ounces) plain or vanilla yogurt (low- or full-fat)
3 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
1 pint small strawberries , washed, dried and hulled
Line a medium sieve (about 7 inches wide) with two layers of paper towels. Place sieve over a bowl. Stir yogurt in container for consistency before pouring into sieve. Adjust paper towels to remove any folds. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 24 hours, until yogurt thickens.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring pineapple juice to a boil. Cook over high heat until reduced to scant 1 cup, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Cover and refrigerate until cold.

When ready to serve, remove yogurt from refrigerator and place a plate over sieve, making sure paper towels are not covering yogurt. Turn plate and sieve over to unmold yogurt. Gently remove paper towels. With a knife, smooth yogurt on sides and top to make a flat "cheesecake." Garnish with strawberries and serve with pineapple sauce on the side.

Alexa,
I found this recipe on here and tried it a few weeks ago. I didn't have any pineapple at the time, we went Saskatoon picking this year and I froze some. I made a sauce with the Saskatoons instead.
