Ingredients:

1. The Star of the Show – Baked Cinnamon Apples:
   • 4 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), cored and sliced
   • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
   • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar substitute
   • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
   • Pinch of nutmeg for a hint of warmth
2. Creamy Bliss – Whipped Topping:
   • 1 cup light whipping cream
   • 2 tablespoons lite cool whip

Instructions:

Step 1: Preparing the Baked Cinnamon Apples – A Symphony of Aromas

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.
3. Sprinkle the granulated sugar substitute, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg over the apples. Toss until the apples are evenly coated with this flavorful blend.
4. Arrange the apple slices in a baking dish, ensuring they form a single layer.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the apples are tender and emanating a heavenly aroma.

Step 2: Crafting the Creamy Crown – Whipped Topping Extravaganza

1. While the apples are baking, whip the light whipping cream until soft peaks form. This can be achieved with an electric mixer or by good old-fashioned elbow grease.
2. Once the apples are out of the oven and slightly cooled, generously spoon the whipped cream over the top, creating a cloud-like cover.
3. Complete the masterpiece by adding a dollop of lite cool whip on each serving.
