Simple Apple Crisp

  • 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

  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.

DIABETIC 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.
