Serving size: 1 piece
Ingredients
1 tart apple (Granny smith), about 1 1/2 cups, cubed and peeled
4 Tbsp. finely chopped, fresh thyme leaves (try to use fresh lemon thyme if you can find it)
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Splenda
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. baking soda
3/4 cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. salt
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/3 cup canola oil
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tsp. vanilla
Preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat with nonstick spray and flour an 8 by 8 inch square pan. Combine the apples, thyme, and lemon juice and set aside.
2. Combine the flour, Splenda, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a separate bowl. In a large bowl combine the eggs, oil, orange juice, and vanilla.
3. Add the apple thyme mixture and mix well until blended. Add the dry ingredients, stirring until just combine. Spoon batter into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool and serve.
