Apple Crumble with Oats

Ingredients

• ½ cup regular rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons whole-wheat pastry flour
• 2 tablespoons maple sugar
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon cold butter, cut into small pieces
• 3 medium Golden Delicious apples, cored and cut into thin wedges
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
• Optional: 1 (8 oz) container low-fat vanilla yogurt or non-dairy alternative for serving

Tips

• For individual servings, divide the apple mixture among six, 6–8 oz ramekins.
• Top with oat mixture and bake for about 35 minutes.
• You can substitute coconut oil for butter to make it dairy-free.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

4. Sprinkle oat mixture evenly over the apples.
5. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until topping is golden and apples are tender.
