Ingredients
2 small-medium (about 6 oz. each) red apples, washed
2 tablespoons Truvia Calorie-Free Brown Sweetener Jar from the Stevia Leaf
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons melted butter, salted
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
- 1.
Pre-heat the oven to 325° F.
- 2.
Line an 8x8” square (or cake pan 8” in diameter) with non-stick foil.
- 3.
Peel the apples. Cut a thin slice from the bottom of one apple to create a flat surface.
- 4.
Cut the core from the apple by standing the apple on the flat side so the stem faces up.
- 5.
Cut one side off the apple as close to the core as possible.
- 6.
Then cut a similar slice from the opposite side of the apple.
- 7.
Cut the remaining two sides as close to the core as possible.
- 8.
Cut each smaller piece in half crosswise.
- 9.
Then cut the larger pieces in half in both directions, creating 12 pieces total.
- 10.
Repeat with the remaining apple.
- 11.
Transfer the apple pieces to a medium mixing bowl.
- 12.
Mix them with the Truvia Stevia Brown Sweetener Jar, lemon juice, butter, and cinnamon until they are evenly coated.
- 13.
Place the apples on the prepared pan so they don’t touch.
- 14.
Drizzle any remaining liquid from the bowl evenly over the apples.
- 15.
Bake the apples for 20 minutes, and then flip them, brushing them over any liquid remaining on the pan.
- 16.
Bake them 20 more minutes, then flip them again, brushing them over any remaining liquid or gooeyness.
- 17.
Continue baking them until the apples are golden brown and soft throughout (the insides should be completely tender), about 20 minutes.
- 18.
Enjoy immediately.
- 19.
Store any remaining covered in the refrigerator.
