directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Coat an 8-inch square deep baking dish with cooking spray.
- Combine granulated sugar, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a large bowl.
- Core apples and thinly slice (You may choose to peel the apples too, however I save mine for added nutrients and fiber).
- Add sliced apples to sugar/lemon mixture and toss to mix.
- Transfer apples to the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine whole wheat flour, oats, brown sugar, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl. Mix well.
- Cut in butter until evenly distributed and no chunks remain.
- Stir in oil, apple juice concentrate, and nuts.
- Mix well until moistened and clumpy.
- Remove the foil from the baking dish and scatter the topping evenly over the apples. Bake uncovered until the topping has browned and the fruit is soft and bubbling, about 30 minutes.
- Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a registered dietitian- food is my life! While food has always been an important aspect of my family, my interest in cooking developed as I volunteered for Share Our Strength's Operation Frontline nutrition-through-cooking program for low-income families. I learned so much about cooking techniques while I was there and was really impressed by how much healthier it is to make your own food as opposed to eating out. Currently, I am lucky to work for the People's Community Clinic in Austin, where I pass that information on to patients so that they can create healthy, tasty meals on a budget. I have a wonderful boyfriend, Steven, and a precious blue heeler mix, Lucy, who faithfully taste-test my recipes.
Even though I may be health conscious, don't expect ALL of my recipes to angelic little replicas of MyPyramid. That wouldn't be any fun, now would it? =)
