Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
- 0.75 cup Whole-wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Oats (old-fashioned or quick-cooking)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place the apple slices in a large mixing bowl.
Add lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar substitute to the apples. Toss to coat evenly, then spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, mix together the whole-wheat flour, oats, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar substitute.
In another small bowl or measuring cup, mix the almond milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly thick but spreadable.
Spoon the batter evenly over the apples, gently spreading it out to cover most of the apple mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy on its own or with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a small scoop of low-sugar vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
