Apple Crisp

 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray an 8×8 baking dish.
2. Prepare apples: In a bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice, sweetener, cinnamon, and vanilla. Spread evenly in the baking dish.
3. Make topping: In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar substitute, and salt. Cut in the butter with a fork until crumbly.
4. Assemble: Sprinkle topping evenly over apples.
5. Bake: Place in oven for 35–40 minutes, until topping is golden brown and apples are tender.
6. Serve warm: Best with a dollop of fat-free whipped topping or a spoon of sugar-free vanilla yogurt (add points if using ice cream).

 Tips:

• Use a mix of tart (Granny Smith) + sweet (Fuji or Honeycrisp) apples for best flavor.
• Add a sprinkle of nutmeg for a warm fall twist.
• For single-serve apple crisp, bake in ramekins (portion control + stays fresh).
