Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Grease an 8x8 baking dish. I use cooking spray.

Step 3

Place a saucepan on medium-high heat. Add the apples, cinnamon, vanilla, sweetener, and lemon juice. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until the apples are soft.

Step 4

Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Add to the pan and stir. Cook for 30 seconds.

Step 5

Transfer the apple mixture to the bottom of the baking dish.

Step 6

Combine the oats, brown sweetener, cinnamon and melted butter in a separate bowl.

Step 7

Spread the topping throughout the pan.

Step 8

Bake for 20 minutes.

Step 9

Loosely cover the pan with foil to prevent the topping from over-browning.

Step 10

Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until the apples are soft.

Step 11

Cool before serving.
