Add our Healthier Apple Crisp to your traditional Thanksgiving spread. It uses white whole wheat flour, a whole grain made from white wheat berries. Lower in saturated fat and filled with fall-fresh apples, this delicious dessert might be a favorite for all winter long. Keep it warm in the oven at 250°F while you are enjoying dinner for a toasty treat.
