LOW GI "APPLE" CRISP
One of the toughest concepts of the Sugar Busters and other low GI diets is the limitation to consume fruit all by itself, not mixed with any other ingredients. Here is a mock apple Crisp that is acceptable because it utilizes zucchini, a vegetable that has a low GI value. People never guess that this dish contains zucchini.

- Use a combination of rolled oats and almond flour in the crisp topping: This will give the topping a nice crunchy texture.
