Ingredients: 5 or 6 apples 3/4 cup pure maple syrup cinnamon to taste 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour 1/2 cup oatmeal 1/2 cup applesauce 1/2 cup brown sugar

Recipe: Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Chop the apples and place them in a lightly oiled 8- × 8-inch baking pan. Cover the chopped apples with the maple syrup and sprinkle with cinnamon.

In a bowl, mix the flour and oatmeal. Then add the applesauce and brown sugar. Mix until the flour is just moistened.

Spread the oatmeal mixture onto the apples. (Don’t worry if all of the chopped apples aren’t covered.) Bake for 30 to 35 minutes and serve warm.
