Sweet on Apples

Sometimes when you have to give up favorite foods due to an illness, you feel deprived. Not so when apples are in season and you crave a piece of moist apple cake. Using a one-to-one sugar substitute like Splenda or Louis Sherry One Spoon gives the cake the texture you remember from your childhood.

In a bowl combine the flour, oats, sugar substitutes, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cut in the margarine with a pastry blender, or two knives, until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Set aside 1/2 cup (78 g).
