This recipe calls for 3/4 tsp. of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp. kosher salt but there is no indication of what to do with it. Also, there was no mention of keeping the butter cold, so I had a mess! I don’t think there was enough oats and flour to make crumbles. I ended up with a thick, cookie-dough like mixture. Very confusing!
Michelle. We made some adjustments to the recipe. If the butter isn’t cold, you’re not going to get crumbles so we added that information also. Our apologies.
‘@ Stephanie Bonds Stephanie, you replaced all of the sugars with the powdered stevia? That doesn’t seem like a lot of sweetener to me. I’m going to try this method and see what happens, however I don’t use margarine. It’s really worse for you than butter. Thanks for your post.
If you love cinnamon, sprinkle apples ’til almost dark, AND add shredded mild cheddar cheese to the crumbly topping — now it’s Cheese Apple Crisp — and delicious…..
I made mine with 1/2 tsp powdered stevia extract instead of the sugars and butter instead of margarine AND 🙂 I used whole wheat flour instead of white flour. Other than that, it was all the same. 😉
I think I got the trans fats, sugars, and bad bleached flour out so nobody will say they can’t have my apple crisp. It’s a good thing this recipe didn’t call for MEAT.
