Food APPLE AND PEAR CRISP - fooddeary.blogspot.com

Topping:
1/2 cup white whole-wheat flour
1 tbsp Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
1/4 cup Splenda granulated
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
4 tbsp cold, unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Filling:
4 large Macintosh or other tart apples
3 Bartlett or Anjou pears
2 tbsp Splenda granulated
3 tbsp apple juice concentrate

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Lightly butter a deep 2 to 2 1/2-quart baking dish; set aside.

To prepare topping: Pour flour, brown sugar, Splenda granulated, cinnamon and nutmeg together in a medium mixing bowl.  Stir well to blend; add the butter and mix with an electric mixer, using paddle attachment, until topping crumbly or sandy in texture.  Set topping aside and make the filling.

Peel, core, and thickly slice apples and pears.  Place the fruit in the buttered baking dish.  The fruit should be at least 2 1/2-inches thick in the bottom of the pan so add more fruit if necessary.  Add the Splenda and apple juice concentrate and toss mixture until coated.  Sprinkle the topping over the filling.

Bake at 400 degrees 40 to 50 minutes or until the fruit is tender and the topping is lightly browned.

Yield: 8 servings
Recipe and photo from Splenda but I changed all-purpose flour to white whole-wheat. I do not believe diabetics should ever use refined all-purpose flour. Also, I just use water in the filling instead of apple juice concentrate. You use what works best for you.
