Roasting apples enhances their sweetness and is a delicious way to highlight fresh fruit in dessert recipes. You’ll make this whenever you hit the apple orchard of farmers’ market. The apples are seasoned with Splenda, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg, so it’s basically the perfect fall dessert. We added an oat-based topping, made with Splenda, some more ground cinnamon, and beaten egg whites, for flavor and crunch. This dessert looks and tastes like you’ve been cooking all day, but in reality it takes just 25 minutes to make, and you most likely have a majority of the ingredients in your fridge or pantry already.
