Weight Watchers-Friendly Apple Crisp
Ingredients:
- 4 medium apples (about 4 cups sliced) – use a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tbsp brown sugar substitute (like Splenda or Monk Fruit)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp light butter or margarine, melted
- 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place them in a mixing bowl, toss with lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Layer the apples: Spread the apple slices evenly in a baking dish (8×8-inch works well). Pour the water over the apples to prevent sticking.
- Make the topping: In a separate bowl, mix the oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar substitute, and salt. Add melted light butter and applesauce, stirring until combined and crumbly.
- Add topping to apples: Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples.
- Bake: Lightly spray the top with cooking spray and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
- Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes and serve warm.
