A more redeeming take on apple pie. If what you really crave is pie a la mode, a big dollop of greek yogurt on top keeps the healthy trend going while still delivering your creamy fix.
5 apples, each cut into 8 wedges
4 tablespoons apple juice
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 tablespoon lowfat margarine
Combine the apple wedges and apple juice in a bowl. Stir well and set aside. Combine the flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in another bowl. Add margarine in with a pastry blender until mixed well.
Place apple mixture in a square baking dish (8-inch) coated with nonstick cooking spray (nonfat); pour flour mixture evenly over apple mixture. Cover and bake at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 20-25 minutes.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

I really think this is a 4+ recipe. We enjoyed it because this is the time of year when apples are not great to be eaten raw. This was a great way to use 5 large gala, golden delicious, and braeburn apples that were a bit soft. I thought 3 T would be too much cinnamon, but it was fine - re: a prior review. We did think it needed a bit more sugar, so my husband sprinkled some on his serving. I think I will make it again and try it with 25% more topping.
Does this recipe really require 3 TBSP of cinnamon? It seems like an awful lot. thanks
It sounds like a lot but it is correct.
