Kahlua Krunch Kobbler

Midwest Maven's Note:

This uses Splenda brown sugar blend, so it's lighter in sugar, but by no means a true diabetic recipe. This could easily be made with regular brown sugar if you so choose also, and the amounts are given for that. It's sweet and creamy and delicious with a scoop of ice cream on top.

I made this for our brunch this morning for a group of 7 and we all loved it. I followed it exactly as written, except had to use almonds. We felt it was a perfect balance of sweetness, though I used the regular brown sugar. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT6. Photo to follow.

Mmmm! I love crisps and this one was very good with the Kahlua in it. I cut it in half by using 2 Golden D. apples and a small Gala. I kept the amount of the topping the same, since I used the same sized pan. It all came out great. Thank you for posting! Made for the Dining Daredevils & ZWT 5.

This was so simple to make and was delicious. Loved the flavors of Kahlua throughout. Served over Vanilla Icecream. Loved the crunch topping from the toasted pecans. Instructions were very easy, I will definitely make this again. It is company worthy! Great entry to the contest. Good Luck Chef! ~V
