Spread amond flour in a baking pan and bake in a preheated 325°F oven for 4 minutes or until lightly toasted. Let cool.

With an electric mixer, beat cheese and splenda until smooth. Mix in eggs, vanilla, Amaretto and sour cream.

Pour batter into a greased 9-inch springform pan. Sprinkle garnish almonds on the top.

Bake in the middle of a preheated 325°F oven for 25 minutes or until just barely set. Turn off the oven, leave the door ajar, and let cool in the oven for 1 hour longer. Chill. To serve, remove pan sides and cut into wedges.

I had a can of no sugar added apple topping sitting in the cupboard. Recently, after a visit to Golden Corral and seeing their no sugar added desserts, it sparked an interest in my apples. But, what on earth could I possibly use as a crust for either a pie, cobbler, or crisp? So I asked a few friends on Bariatric Eating. I was reminded by my friend Linda of her famous Caramel Apple Crisp recipe (which I've made before and it is wonderful). I thought about using only the topping crust portion of her recipe and pouring it on top of my canned apples. This would also work well with no sugar added cherries. You see, I am not the "from scratch" kind of cook. I am for the easiest, most non preparation method possible!

Ingredients for Apples:

  • One can no sugar added Walmart generic apple topping dumped into glass bread loaf dish
  • Add cinnamon & splenda, chopped pecans
  • Add sugar free caramel syrup (such as Torani or Cinnabliss if you have it) I did not add it to my recipe and it needed some caramel "oomph"
  • Few drops of Almond extract

Ingredients for Crust: (Note: I halfed this crust recipe, but this is Linda's original)

  • 1 1/4 cup oatmeal
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup Splenda
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Dump the crust on top of your apples. I decoratively arranged pecan halves on top and drizzled with Cinnabliss caramel sauce on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for an additional 15-30 minutes. This recipe is best eaten warm. The crust can be somewhat soggy if chilled or cooled. Add a scoop of sugar free or low carb ice cream for an ala mode affect. Tim asked which bowl he needed to take a picture of... MINE (left) or HIS (right). He thought it would be amusing to show BOTH for the differences in our portions!
