Notes
Once you slice the apples they will begin to oxidize and turn brown. Drizzling them in lemon juice will prevent it.If you wish to add nuts, fold them in with the oats topping.You can substitute the sweetener used in this recipe for any of the following:
Regular sugar (you can use the same amount outlined in the recipe)
Honey (1/3 cup in the filling and 4 tablespoons in the topping)
You can substitute melted coconut oil (best option) or olive oil, the same amount.To make this dish with less carbs you can substitute oats for monkfruit sweetened low carb granola. Omit the cornstarch and use 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum and 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of water to thicken the filling. Combine the xanthan gum and water and then add it to the filling and stir.Making these changes results in these macros:Calories: 189 Fat: 11G Net Carbs: 16G Protein: 1G
