INGREDIENT NOTES:
Apples:
- Firm apples such as Honeycrisp, Fuji/Granny Smith should be used. Cut them into thin pieces in order to have an even bake.
Lemon Juice:
- It prevents browning of these apples. It also gives off a bright taste.
Cornstarch:
- Tirks the juices during the baking of apples. This prevents it from being too watery.
Cinnamon:
- Comes along with the rich taste. And you may put nutmeg, or Apple pie spice.
Oats:
- Old-fashioned oats are textured. Do not use quick oats, which go mushy.
Applesauce:
- They replace butter. This maintains the topping wet and airy.
Maple Syrup:
- Brings in natural sweetness. Opt for sugar-free syrup to get fewer points.
