Ingredients
- ½ cup regular rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons whole-wheat pastry flour
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar (see Notes)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 3 medium Golden Delicious apples, cored and cut into thin wedges
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar (see Notes)
- 1 (8-ounce) container frozen yogurt or low-fat vanilla yogurt (optional for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix with a fork until well incorporated.
- Add the cold butter to the oat mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to work the butter in until the mixture forms small clumps.
- In a separate large bowl, toss the apple wedges with the water, lemon juice, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of brown sugar until evenly coated.
- Transfer the apples to a 9-inch pie plate, spreading them out evenly. Sprinkle the oat mixture over the top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. A fork should easily pierce through the apples when done.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with frozen yogurt or low-fat vanilla yogurt for an extra creamy touch.
