- 6 cups of sliced, peeled, & cored
apples (or peaches or pears)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon cloves
- 1/3 cup soft margarine
Get out a two quart casserole dish and
oil it well. Place the prepared apples or
peaches into the dish and sprinkle the lemon
juice over them. Set them aside. In a medium
sized bowl, combine the oatmeal, flour,
brown sugar, cinnamon and cloves. Add the
margarine. If the margarine is soft, it will
be an easy matter to mix it in with a fork.
If the margarine is hard, you can melt it in
the microwave or in a small pan on the
stove. The topping will be a little less
crumbly, but still very good. After the
oatmeal mixture is well mixed and crumbly,
scatter it over the apples in the casserole.
It will cover them thickly. Now put the
casserole in the oven and bake it at 350°
for about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven
and serve hot with whipped cream or Whipped
Topping. Serves 6. This is really good made
with peaches or pears too. Choose which ever
fruit is most abundant. Peaches in the
summertime, apples and pears in the fall and
winter.
