- 6 apples cored & sliced (keep skins on for extra color and nutrition)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg optional
- Juice of 1 lemon about 2 tbsp

- ¼ cup flour all-purpose
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 tbsp butter cut into small pieces
Preheat oven to 350°.
In a bowl mix together the apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice and brown sugar.
Butter or oil an 8 x 8-inch baking pan. Put apple mixture in it and set it aside.
In another bowl mix the oats, sugar, flour, cinnamon and bits of margarine or butter. Rub mixture with your fingers until crumbly.
Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly on top of the apples.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, until fruit is bubbling and topping is golden brown.
- There are many varieties of apples—some are best for eating, some for cooking, and others are all-purpose.
- They can be sweet or tart, and come in a variety of colors.
- Apples are low in calories and fat-free. They are a good source of Vitamin C and fiber.
- Apples will stay fresh at room temperature for 2 days. They can remain fresh in the refrigerator for 2 weeks or more. Wash in cold water before eating.
- Most apples discolor quickly after they are cut, so use them quickly or toss them with some lemon juice to stop browning.
OTHER USES FOR APPLES
