Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (any firm variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat plain Greek yogurt (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons Caramel sauce (reduced sugar or homemade)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples into approximately 1/4-inch slices. Place the apple slices in a large mixing bowl.
Toss the apples with lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract until evenly coated.
Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
Melt the butter and drizzle it into the oat mixture, stirring to combine. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.
If using Greek yogurt, mix it in along with the maple syrup to add more moisture to the topping.
Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the oat topping, using a spoon to distribute it as evenly as possible.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly and tender.
Let the apple crisp cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Optionally, serve with low-fat vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
