Diatetic Apple Crumb Cake


 To keep with the season, this is my latest addition to my Diabetic Recipe Section.  Nothing says Fall like an apple cake baking in the oven. I know I love apple cake in the fall and I am diabetic.However; this is a great recipe for your entire family if you are looking to lower the sugar intake of your household.


Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 sticks butter (softened)
3/4 cup SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
1 tablespoon apple juice or apple cider
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups peeled and chopped apple
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Topping:

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 sticks butter (very cold)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts


Directions for cake batter:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x9-inch baking pan with vegetable cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Cream the butter with electric mixer on medium speed
  3. Combine egg, milk, juice, vanilla, and SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener in a separate mixing  bowl.
  4. Gradually add wet ingredients to creamed butter in the mixer on low speed
  5. In a separate bowl: Combine flour, SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener, cinnamon, and baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices together
  6. Add dry ingredients slowly, stirring just until moistened.
  7. Remove mixing bowl from mixer: Stir in apples and walnuts. Spoon mixture into prepared pan.
  8. Sprinkle topping over the batter.
  9. Bake for 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.

  Directions for topping
  1. Cut up butter into small pieces
  2. Blend all dry ingredients together
  3. Put all the dry ingredients into the bowl with the butter
  4. With a wooden spoon combine the dry with the butter till it forms crumbs. Don't over work this because you want it crumbly
This is wonderful served with fresh home made whipped cream, crem'fresh, or french vanilla ice cream

 



Keep on Baking!!! Fondly, DCRose

  1. Another great recipe. I wonder if I can use whole wheat flower and just take off 2 Tbsp per cup and get a good result? And what if I used the brown sugar splenda - the consistency is a little denser.

  2. Giz, I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to substitute Splenda Brown Sugar. I never used it but give it a try and let me know. Using just whole wheat flour will be heavy and bitter. I would not suggest this. It is cake after all not bread.
