ingredients

For cake
¹⁄₂ cup whole wheat pastry flour
¹⁄₃ cup whole wheat flour
¹⁄₃ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons cinnamon
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped or diced apples (About 2 Apples, I leave skin on)
1 egg
1 egg white
¹⁄₂ cup sugar (more or less depending on the sweetness of the Apple)
¹⁄₄ cup unsweetened applesauce
For topping
¹⁄₄ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
¹⁄₂ teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon margarine (I use Smart Balance Light)
¹⁄₄ cup oats (or 1 granola bar, finely chopped)

directions

Preheat oven to 350°.
Using 'cake' part of ingredients: In a small bowl, stir the flours, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Using a food processor, chop up the apples.
In a large bowl, combine apples, egg, egg white, sugar, and applesauce. Stir together until blended. Fold the dry ingredients to bowl, until combined.
Pour entire batter into a sprayed 9x9 (or 9-inch round) pan.
Using 'topping' ingredients: Stir together brown sugar, flours, cinnamon, and softened margarine. Then add in oats or granola and spread evenly on top of batter. NOTE: When I bake this, I use either a package (2 bars) of Nature Valley Oats 'n Honey granola, or Kashi crunchy Almond granola bars. I take the bars and run them through the food processor. Make a delicious and crunchy topping.
Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm.

I've made this cake twice now. I like to use food storage items, so I used dried apples (reconstitute) and put some in the blender to make the applesauce. I also used powdered eggs, so my cake had a little more fat. Really like the flavors and the texture. Took it to work and they didn't care it was whole wheat!!
