Prep Time: 15 minutes  Bake Time: 35 to 45 minutes Serves: 8

Ingredients:

• 8 cups firm cooking apples, peeled, cored and sliced ½-inch thick (7 to 8 medium-size apples)
• ¼ cup Argo Corn Starch
• ⅓ cup granular sucralose sweetener
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ cup unsweetened apple juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 cup Karo Lite Syrup
• 4 crunchy granola bars, oats, nuts and honey flavor, crushed

Directions: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Stir apples, cornstarch, sweetener, cinnamon, apple juice and lemon juice together in a large saucepan. Add syrup and mix well. Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture just begins to boil, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and transfer to a greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle crushed granola bars evenly over fruit filling. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until apples are tender.

Recipe Suggestion: Try this recipe with peaches, cherries or blueberries in place of apples and use ¼ teaspoon almond extract instead of cinnamon.
