I Can't Believe It's Healthy's Note:

These are wonderful Low-fat treats you can feel good about eating or feeding to your family! Note: If you want a sweet crust and crumble add more brown sugar. The crust is slightly sweet, but not that usual, cloying sweet. Add closer to 3/4 cup. Also, for the margarine, notice the note i wrote with the ingrediant. That is the nutrition info for the margarine i used, Becel Light, and if you use anything lower calorie/ fat from that I believe it will change the outcome. Anything higher calorie should just make it nice and buttery-tasting.
