Ingredients
- 5 apples medium-sized. Any apples will work, but firm baking apples work best such s Fuji, Granny Smith, or Honeycrisp.
- 2 ½ ounces Lower Sugar Quaker's Instant Oatmeal (2 packets, each packet is about 1 oz) Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar, or another low calorie oatmeal packet. We give directions below to make your own at home.
- 8 ounces Diet lemon lime soda such as Diet Sprite or Diet &-Up
- 1 tsp brown sugar or sweetener
- 5 sprays I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter or butter-flavored cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Spray an 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan with cooking spray.
- Peel apples if desired. Cut apples into chunks or slices.
- Place apples in a lightly greased baking pan.
- Sprinkle both oatmeal packets evenly over apples, covering all areas.
- Pour diet soda over apples and dry oatmeal.
- Sprinkle brown sugar or sweetener over the oatmeal.
- Spray oatmeal with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter or cooking spray.
- Bake in 350℉ oven for 20 to 25 minutes. The crisp will bubble and oatmeal will have a toasted look. If desired, place under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to further brown the top of the crisp. (Watch carefully so it doesn't burn.)
