Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Tart apples (such as Granny Smith)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons Stevia sweetener (granulated)
- 1 cup Old-fashioned oats
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts
- 4 tablespoons Butter (cold and cut into small cubes)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with a bit of butter or cooking spray and set aside.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the tart apples. Place the apple slices into a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the apples and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of stevia and the ground cinnamon. Toss the apples until they are evenly coated. Spread the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In another mixing bowl, combine the oats, whole wheat flour, chopped nuts, 2 tablespoons of stevia, and salt. Mix until combined.
Add the cold butter cubes to the oat mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix until the butter is incorporated and the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
Stir the vanilla extract into the crumble topping, then spread the mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
