Ingredients:
The Star of the Show – Baked Cinnamon Apples:
4 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), cored and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons granulated sugar substitute
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg for a hint of warmth
Creamy Bliss – Whipped Topping:
1 cup light whipping cream
2 tablespoons lite cool whip
Instructions:
Step 1: Preparing the Baked Cinnamon Apples – A Symphony of Aromas
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar substitute, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg over the apples. Toss until the apples are evenly coated with this flavorful blend.
Arrange the apple slices in a baking dish, ensuring they form a single layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the apples are tender and emanating a heavenly aroma.
Step 2: Crafting the Creamy Crown – Whipped Topping Extravaganza
While the apples are baking, whip the light whipping cream until soft peaks form. This can be achieved with an electric mixer or by good old-fashioned elbow grease.
Once the apples are out of the oven and slightly cooled, generously spoon the whipped cream over the top, creating a cloud-like cover.
Complete the masterpiece by adding a dollop of lite cool whip on each serving.
