Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 1 cup Old-Fashioned Oats
- 0.5 cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 0.5 cup Chopped Nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted Butter
- 0.5 cup Applesauce (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.5 cup Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Core, peel, and slice the apples into thin wedges, about 1/4-inch thick. Place them into a large mixing bowl.
Pour the lemon juice over the sliced apples to prevent browning and add the ground cinnamon and nutmeg. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
In another bowl, combine the oats, whole wheat flour, and chopped nuts.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour the melted butter over the oat mixture.
Add the applesauce and vanilla extract to the oat mixture, stirring until everything is well combined and has a crumbly texture.
Gently fold the raisins into the sliced apples.
Transfer the apple mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish. Spread evenly.
Sprinkle the oat topping over the apples, ensuring it covers the apples entirely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow the sugar-free apple crunch to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
