Book Description

Sarah Phillips was a single mother who pulled herself up by her apron strings by selling cookies baked at home. Then, she turned to making low-fat muffins, which became so popular she translated her recipes into mixes to be sold in supermarkets. In her Healthy Oven Baking Book, Phillips is realistic. She explains why fat-free recipes give poor results: taking out too much fat also removes good taste and texture. So, she often uses applesauce in place of fat

At first glance, this looks like an easy dessert to whip up for a family supper. And it is! But my son Tom loves the leftovers for breakfast, and sometimes on a weekend, I'll serve it to everyone instead of plain old granola and fruit. For dessert, serve it with frozen yogurt, but for breakfast, regular yogurt is perfect. The crunchy oatmeal topping is absolutely irresistible

Makes 9 Servings

Nonstick canola oil spray
6 medium Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 cup fresh or frozen (do not thaw) blueberries or raspberries
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1-1/2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, preferably grade B
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
(spoon into measuring cup and level top, then measure 1 level tablespoon)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon sugar

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Generously spray a 9 X 13-inch ovenproof glass baking pan with oil.
Place the apples and blueberries in the prepared pan and spread with the applesauce. In a medium bowl, stir the oatmeal, syrup, flour, lemon juice, oil, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. Crumble the mixture over the fruit and sprinkle with the sugar.
Bake until the apples are tender and the topping is browned, about 45 minutes. Serve hot or warm.
