Ingredients

• 6 medium Apples (any firm variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar (light or dark)
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat plain Greek yogurt (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons Caramel sauce (reduced sugar or homemade)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples into approximately 1/4-inch slices. Place the apple slices in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Toss the apples with lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract until evenly coated.

Step 4

Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 5

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.

Step 6

Melt the butter and drizzle it into the oat mixture, stirring to combine. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.

Step 7

If using Greek yogurt, mix it in along with the maple syrup to add more moisture to the topping.

Step 8

Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.

Step 9

Drizzle the caramel sauce over the oat topping, using a spoon to distribute it as evenly as possible.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly and tender.

Step 11

Let the apple crisp cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Optionally, serve with low-fat vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
