Ingredients
- 6 large apples
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray.
Step 2
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin, even slices and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add lemon juice to the apples and toss to coat. This will prevent them from browning and add a nice tangy flavor.
Step 4
In another bowl, mix together the brown sugar, rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Step 5
Stir in the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Step 6
Spread the sliced apples evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Step 7
Sprinkle the oat and flour mixture evenly over the apples, ensuring full coverage.
Step 8
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top of the crumble for a nice, crunchy finish.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as is, or with a dollop of yogurt or low-fat ice cream.
