Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large apples
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin, even slices and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add lemon juice to the apples and toss to coat. This will prevent them from browning and add a nice tangy flavor.
In another bowl, mix together the brown sugar, rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Stir in the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Spread the sliced apples evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the oat and flour mixture evenly over the apples, ensuring full coverage.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top of the crumble for a nice, crunchy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as is, or with a dollop of yogurt or low-fat ice cream.
