Description

A warm and comforting easy sugar free apple crisp skillet made with tender Granny Smith apples, cinnamon, oats, and a crunchy golden topping. Perfect for a light dessert, breakfast, or snack.

Ingredients

Apple Filling:

6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup sweetener of choice (monk fruit, erythritol, honey, or maple syrup)

1 teaspoon Simply Organic Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract (alcohol-free)

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon water

Topping:

1 cup rolled oats (or monk fruit sweetened granola for low-carb)

1/4 cup brown sweetener

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

3 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Grease an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray.

3. Place a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add apples, cinnamon, vanilla extract, sweetener, and lemon juice. Stir and cook for 2–3 minutes until apples soften.

4. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Add to the pan, stir, and cook for 30 seconds until thickened.

5. Transfer the apple mixture to the baking dish.

6. In a bowl, combine oats, brown sweetener, cinnamon, and melted butter.

7. Spread the topping evenly over the apples.

8. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.

9. Loosely cover with foil and bake for an additional 20–25 minutes until apples are soft and topping is golden.

10. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Once sliced, apples begin to brown. Tossing them in lemon juice helps prevent this.

For extra crunch, fold nuts like pecans or walnuts into the topping.

You can replace sweetener with sugar, pure maple syrup, or honey.

Coconut oil or olive oil can substitute for melted butter.

For low-carb: use monk fruit sweetened granola instead of oats, and replace cornstarch with 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum mixed with 1–1 1/2 teaspoons water.
