I found this amazing recipe at a stevia website.  I made just a few modifications…the recipe had the stevia amounts spot on.  It has the perfect amount of sweetness, and can be served hot or cold as a dessert, breakfast, or anytime snack.  It works with almost any kind of apple too.  I would love to always have some on hand for snacking, but I tend to eat the entire thing as soon as it’s cooled off!

Ingredients

Filling:

7 to 8 c. Peeled, chopped Apples

3 Tb. Lemon Juice

1 tsp. Vanilla

1/2 tsp. Powdered Stevia

2 Tb. Whole Wheat Flour

3 Tb. Almond Butter

1 tsp. Cinnamon

1/4 tsp. Salt

2/3 c. Half and Half

Topping*:

1 c. Rolled Oats

2/3 c. Chopped Pecans

1/4 tsp. Powdered Stevia

3/4 tsp. Liquid Stevia

2 Tb. Melted Butter or Oil

*You may substitute 1 1/2 c. Granola for the topping.

Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.

Place the Apples in a large mixing bowl.  Stir in the Lemon Juice.  Mix the Vanilla, Powdered Stevia, Wheat Flour, Almond Butter, Cinnamon, and Salt into the Apples.

Pour the Half and Half into the bottom of the baking dish.  Spoon in the Apple mixture.

Mix the Oats, Pecans, Powdered Stevia, and Liquid Stevia together in a bowl.  Stir in the melted Butter/Oil.  Spread the topping over the Apples so it is evenly distributed.

Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour.  If the topping gets done before the Apples, cover dish with foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.

Serve as is, or top with fresh Whipped Cream, Ice Cream, or Whole Fat Greek Yogurt.
