Tart Apple Crisp With Stevia

"I have been eating a lot of apple crisps lately and have tweaked my recipe to suit my taste. I have reduced the amount of butter and now am reducing the amount of sugar so that I could eat more apple crisp with less guilt. Hey, the apple, lemon, whole wheat flour, oat meal are all good for me. I only substituted the Stevia for the sugar in the apples, not the topping because I want to make sure the topping gets brown."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Peel apples (I leave half of the apples unpeeled to get the nutritional benefits of the some of the skin). Slice into 1/4" slices.
  • Combine apple slices, Stevia powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour. Toss to coat. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the apples and toss to coat.
  • Put apples into baking dish - I use a large 13" oval ceramic casserole dish.
  • In bowl combine flour, oat meal, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg from topping ingredients. Mix well. Cut in soften butter. I use my hand to make sure to incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients. You should get small crumbs.
  • Put topping over apples to cover. There should be plenty to adequately cover the apples.
  • Bake 40 - 50 minutes until apples are cooked (bubbly).
  • Cool and serve.
  • My kids like to top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

  1. This was a nice way to use less sugar in a dessert for my husband. I made it exactly as called for except my oven broke...so into my Farberware crock pot (this is a true SLOW cooker) it went, and came out PERFECT. My apples were pink ladies. Thanks so much!
     
  2. This is just what I was looking for -- to substitute out most sugar with Stevia, but still keep the taste and texture. Thank you for sharing this!
