Caramel Crunch Apple Crisp

Ingredients

•  6 medium apples (such as Cortland, Empire, Granny Smith, or Winesap), cored and thinly sliced (6 cups)
•  1 tablespoon granulated sugar*
•  1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•  2/3 cup rolled oats
•  1/4 cup whole wheat flour
•  1/4 cup packed brown sugar or brown sugar substitute* equivalent to 1/4 cup brown sugar
•  2 tablespoons butter
•  1 egg white
•  1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted, or unsalted dry roasted peanuts
•  2 tablespoons sugar-free caramel ice cream topping

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, toss together apples, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Spoon evenly into a 2-quart square baking dish.
• For topping: In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, and brown sugar. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in egg white and nuts until combined. Sprinkle topping over apples.
• Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until topping is golden and apples are tender (if necessary, cover with foil during the last 10 minutes to prevent over browning). Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
•  In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave caramel topping, uncovered, on 100 percent power (high) for 10 seconds. Drizzle over crisp before serving.

Tip

Sugar Substitutes: Choose from Sweet'N Low Brown or Sugar Twin Granulated Brown to substitute for the brown sugar. Follow package directions to use product amount equivalent to 1/4 cup brown sugar. We do not recommend using a sugar substitute for the granulated sugar.

Tip: To toast nuts, spread in a shallow baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in a 350 degrees F oven for 5 to 10 minutes or until golden, shaking pan once or twice.
