• 0.5 cup Butter (cold, unsalted)
• 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Toss the apple slices with the lemon juice, 1/4 cup of Splenda or Sugar Twin, and ground cinnamon until evenly coated. Set aside.

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the quick oats, flour, and the remaining 1/4 cup of Splenda or Sugar Twin.

Step 5

Cut the cold butter into the oat mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese into the oat topping mixture.

Step 7

Grease a 9-inch square baking dish. Evenly spread the prepared apple mixture in the dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle the oat and cheese mixture over the apples, ensuring an even layer.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
