01
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a food processor, combine the flour, brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Pulse a few times until everything is mixed well. Gradually add the butter, pulsing between additions, until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces. Press half of this crumbly mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9-inch springform pan and set the rest aside.

Step 2
In a large bowl, toss the apples with Stevia In The Raw®, cornstarch, and the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon until the apples are nicely coated. Spread the apple mixture over the crust in the pan, then sprinkle the reserved crumb topping evenly over the apples.

Step 3
Set the springform pan on a baking sheet with sides (to catch any drips) and bake for about 60 to 70 minutes, until the top turns golden brown. Once it’s done, take it out of the oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen the cake. Let it cool completely before removing the springform ring. Serve and enjoy!

How to serve
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It also pairs wonderfully with a cup of hot tea or coffee for a cozy afternoon treat.
Storage & leftovers
