Step 3

You will start by coring, peeling, and dicing the apples into into bite size pieces.

Step 4

Then place cored, peeled, diced apples in a large bowl and toss with lemon juice.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl combine, 1/2 cup flour, oats, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until well combined.

Step 6

Cut in 3 Tbsp of light butter into flour/oat mixture with pastry blender or fork until mixture forms into small crumbles. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Meanwhile, combine water, sugar substitute, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg into a medium saucepan.

Step 8

Whisk to combine then bring to a boil over medium heat. Stirring often.

Step 9

Once it starts to boil, let it boil for a full two minutes-this will thicken the sauce.

Step 13

Bake for 15-18 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is golden brown.
