Quick & Easy Apple Crisp

A traditional autumn dessert that's delicious served with vanilla ice cream. I've often made this recipe "diabetic-friendly" without sacrificing taste or quality by using Splenda No-Calorie Sweetener. Directions are included.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 6 -8  tart apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (such as Granny Smith)
• 2 -3  teaspoons lemon juice
• 1⁄4 cup granulated sugar
• 1  teaspoon cinnamon
• 1  tablespoon butter
• 1  cup flour
• 1  cup brown sugar
• 1⁄2 cup butter
•  vanilla ice cream or   fresh  whipped cream

Directions

1. Toss apples with lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon; turn into an 8x8" baking pan that has been lightly coated with no-stick cooking spray; dot with butter.
2. Cut together flour, brown sugar, and butter until crumbly; sprinkle evenly over apples.
3. Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes until apples are tender; serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
4. VARIATION: This recipe can be made diabetic-friendly by substituting Splenda for the granulated sugar and substituting 1/2 cup Splenda for 1/2 cup of the brown sugar - the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar is still used.
