I got this recipe out of a Costco Cookbook. It uses canola oil instead of butter, whole wheat flour, nuts and no salt. Canola oil and walnuts are a good source of Omega 3s. I also left the peels on the apples for added fiber and nutrients. It's quick and easy and a guilt-free dessert. It can be served with vanilla fro-yo or ice cream.
6 granny smith apples, cored and sliced
Juice of 1 lemon
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts (pecans can be used also)
1 cup packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup canola oil, plus more if needed
Preheat oven to 375.
Place apple slices in a large bowl, add lemon juice and toss to coat with juice.
To make the topping, combine oats, walnuts, brown sugar, wheat flour and cinnamon in a bowl, and stir to blend. Add canola oil and stir again. If it seems too dry (should clump together when you squeeze it), add another teaspoon or two of oil.
Transfer apples to a 13x9 inch baking dish. Add the topping, spreading it evenly over the apples; do not pack it down.
Bake until the apples are tender and the topping is golden, 45-50 minutes. Serve warm. Makes 12 servings.
