Ingredients:
For the filling:
- 4 medium apples (peeled, cored, thinly sliced — Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp sugar substitute (Monkfruit, Stevia, or Splenda)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
For the topping:
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour to lower points)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar (or sugar substitute)
- 2 tbsp light butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- Pinch of salt
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray an 8×8 baking dish.
- Prepare apples: In a bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice, sweetener, cinnamon, and vanilla. Spread evenly in the baking dish.
- Make topping: In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar substitute, and salt. Cut in the butter with a fork until crumbly.
- Assemble: Sprinkle topping evenly over apples.
- Bake: Place in oven for 35–40 minutes, until topping is golden brown and apples are tender.
- Serve warm: Best with a dollop of fat-free whipped topping or a spoon of sugar-free vanilla yogurt (add points if using ice cream).
✨ Tips:
- Use a mix of tart (Granny Smith) + sweet (Fuji or Honeycrisp) apples for best flavor.
- Add a sprinkle of nutmeg for a warm fall twist.
- For single-serve apple crisp, bake in ramekins (portion control + stays fresh).
