Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (firm varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Splenda or Sugar Twin
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Quick oats
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Butter (cold, unsalted)
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Toss the apple slices with the lemon juice, 1/4 cup of Splenda or Sugar Twin, and ground cinnamon until evenly coated. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the quick oats, flour, and the remaining 1/4 cup of Splenda or Sugar Twin.
Cut the cold butter into the oat mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese into the oat topping mixture.
Grease a 9-inch square baking dish. Evenly spread the prepared apple mixture in the dish.
Sprinkle the oat and cheese mixture over the apples, ensuring an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow the apple crisp to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream.
