Recipe: Low Fat Apple Crisp (topped with oats and brown sugar)

LOW FAT APPLE CRISP

If grandma's apple crisp was always your favorite treat, try this version with a scoop of low-fat vanilla yogurt

3 pounds peeled, cored and sliced Granny Smith apples
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
FOR THE CRUMB TOPPING:
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons rolled oats
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon margarine

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 2-quart shallow baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Place the apple slices in prepared baking dish.

Combine the 1/3 cup brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle over the apples, tossing to coat evenly. Cover the dish with foil.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

FOR THE CRUMB TOPPING:
Meanwhile, combine the flour, oats, and 1-1/2 tablespoons brown sugar in a small bowl. Mash the margarine into the dry mixture with a fork.

Remove the baking dish from oven, sprinkle with the crumb mixture and bake uncovered for another 40 minutes.
