Croustarde Aux Pommes (Apple Crunch)
"From fatfreevegan.com This is a tasty treat when you are craving something sweet but don't want the fat in a regular crunch. For the record- this is a diet friendly recipe."
- Ready In:
- 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
6
ingredients
- 5 -6 apples
- cinnamon
- 3⁄4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1⁄2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1⁄2 cup oatmeal
- 1⁄2 cup applesauce
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
directions
- Chop up the apples and place them in a 8x8 inch baking pan sprayed with oil.
- Pour the maple syrup over the apples and then sprinkle cinnamon over it all.
- In a bowl, mix together the flour and oatmeal. Then add the applesauce and brown sugar, and mix until the flour is just moistened and even a bit dry in some parts.
- Spread (or sort of "spoon and pat") the flour/oatmeal/applesauce/brown sugar mixture onto the apples. It doesn't have to spread from edge to edge - just spread it out best you can and don't worry about empty spots!
- Bake this in the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 35 minutes.
- When done, just "scoop" out of the pan, making sure to get both the crunchy part (the croustarde) and the apples. This is definitely not something you can cut.

Yum. We really enjoyed this different take on apple cobbler. I had some apples that were not great so I decided to use them up and found this recipe to try. I used way more than 5, but they were tiny. This makes quite a lot of syrup which is nice to drizzle over the top. We ate it cold after we went fishing (Catch and release though we never catch anything!) and it was very very good. Thanks Ajo!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I live with my hubby and three feline children in Oakland by Lake Merritt. <br /> <br /> <br />My rating system: <br />5 stars if the recipe works without having to make changes (my own subs just for personal preference do not count) <br />*New Rule: If hubby says "mmmm" or "this is good" without me asking if he likes it, it automatically gets five stars <br />4 stars if the recipe needs a minimal amount of changing because the recipe does not work the way it was written or if overall it just didn't WOW me. <br />3 stars and below if the recipe just does not work or if the instructions are not written clearly enough to make it. <br /> <br />Please know that I will change your recipe to fit my diet. I mean no disrespect, but since I have to diet I have to do it. I refuse to limit myself to recipes that already fit my diet and like the challenge of changing already existing recipes to be healthier. I will leave out the oil, leave out or replace the cheese and milk with a non-dairy alternative, and use whole grains. I will also leave out meat and broth and choose vegetarian, low sodium versions/alternatives. I still rate recipes that I make these changes to. <br /> <br />But, if I use a recipe as inspiration only- meaning I got a great idea from it but changed it all around- I generally will not give any stars but will put a little note stating what I did. I love to give credit where credit is due. <br /> <br />I don't deduct stars if I personally do not like an ingredient in the recipe. I don't make recipes that I think that I won't like, which is why you will probably notice that most of my ratings are pretty high. I think it is silly that people choose to make recipes that include ingredients that they don't like then rate them poorly saying "I don't care for..." Anyway, you get the idea. <br /> <br />I've participated in <br /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group04cherry.jpg" alt="" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group09okra.jpg" alt="" /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap2/group02banana.jpg" alt="" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap2/group12starfruit.jpg" alt="" /></p>
