- 1 medium-sized apple (any variety)
- 1 packet powdered stevia* (divided)
- ground cinnamon (divided)
- 1 grissini breadstick (divided)
- ½ grissini breadstick
- ½ packet powdered stevia*
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp water (as needed)
- ½ grissini breadstick
- ½ packet powdered stevia*
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Core and remove the seeds from the apple. Chop the apple into small bite-sized pieces (about ¼-inch). Set aside.
-
Place the grissini breadstick (see the brand we recommend here) into a zip top bag and crush with your fingers until the breadstick is broken down into a powder with several small chunks.
-
Make the crust by mixing the half of the crushed breadstick powder, powdered stevia and cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir well. Add water slowly to the crust mix.
-
Once it reaches a good consistency, press the crust mixture into the bottom of a soufflé dish or muffin tin.
-
Place apple pieces onto the top of the crust.
-
Combine all of the topping ingredients (the other half of the crushed breadstick, stevia and more cinnamon).
-
Pour this topping mixture over the apple and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until the apples are softened.
-
Remove from oven, let cool slightly.
-
Serve and enjoy!
*When choosing the stevia for this recipe... many store-bought brands of stevia are stevia 'blends'. Only 'pure' stevia is recommended for Phase 2 of the HCG Diet. SweetLeaf® stevia is the brand we recommend and it's allowed in any quantity. If you do not have SweetLeaf® stevia, look at the ingredients and if you see any words ending in -ose, -tol, or -dextrin, avoid using that type of stevia during Phase 2 of the HCG Diet.
