Ingredient Notes

Apples:

  • Honey Crisp Apples are my first choice for this dish. Any firm, sweet apple such as Pink Lady, Fuji, and Ambrosia can work.
    Rolled Oats:
  • I used Trader Joe’s Toasted Old fashioned rolled oats.

Brown Sugar:

  • We used Lankanto Golden Monkfruit Sweetener to bake apples.

All-purpose Flour:

  • This ingredient is easily available in stores and can be substituted with alternatives like gluten-free, whole-wheat, or almond flour.

Light Butter:

  • Soft and light butter works well. Light butter from the Land O Lakes brand works nicely because it is prepared with canola oil.

Tips
