My son went to an apple orchard with his Kindergarten class earlier this fall. He had a lot of fun hanging out with his friends and learning about apples. I was fortunate to be able to go with him and as part of our tour, we each got a 1/4 peck of apples to take home with us. We like apples, but that was a lot of apples for us to try to eat in a week's time. Plus, we had a family gathering later in the week, so the best decision was to find a recipe to use those apples! I found this recipe in one of the church cookbooks and it was easy and delicious. I also made a sugar-free version for those who needed sugar-free options, and it turned out really well, too. (I used a one-to-one sugar substitute, so if that's your thing, give it a try!)
Ingredients: apples, brown sugar, flour, regular oats, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, butter
Step 1: preheat oven to 375 F. Slice and pare apples (peel, if desired.) Step 2: grease square baking dish and arrange apples in pan in even layers. Step 3: mix remaining ingredients together with a fork and arrange over apples. Step 4: bake until apples are tender and topping is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
