Secret Ingredient Apple Crisp

Mel couldn't believe what I used to make an apple crisp healthier. Diet soda.

Recipe: I chopped up 4-6 apples, poured 1/2 cup of diet soda over them, and sprinkled 2-3 tablespoons of raisins over them. I tossed on some seasonings, such as cinnamon or pie spice. Mix together homemade cereal in previous post and spread over the fruit. Bake for 30-45 minutes at 325 degrees.

The diet soda softens and seasons the apples as they bake. I worried that the diet soda would make it runny, but the apples soaked it up.

If you want it to be sweeter, you can add 1 tablespoon sugar with the apples and soda. I think brown sugar sounds mouthwatering delicious.

Happy, Healthy Cooking,
