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: 50 mins
• 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

1. Chop up the apples and place them in a 8x8 inch baking pan sprayed with oil.
2. Pour the maple syrup over the apples and then sprinkle cinnamon over it all.
3. 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.
4. 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!
5. Bake this in the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 35 minutes.
6. 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.
