Buttery Apple Crumble

Whole wheat flour adds an unexpected nutty flavor to the oatmeal topping. Removing the foil halfway through baking allows the topping to become crisp and browned.

Yield: 9 servings (serving size: 2/3 cup)

Ingredients

• 3/4  cup  whole wheat flour
• 1 1/4  cups  regular oats
• 1/2  cup  packed brown sugar
• 1  teaspoon  ground cinnamon
• 1/2  teaspoon  salt
• 1/2  cup  butter, melted
• 2  teaspoons  vanilla extract, divided
• 1/2  cup  apple cider
• 1/4  cup  granulated sugar
• 1 1/2  teaspoons  cornstarch
• Dash of salt
• 10  cup  sliced peeled baking apples
• Cooking spray

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°.

Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla; stir with a fork until moist and crumbly.

Combine 1 teaspoon vanilla, cider, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and dash of salt in a large bowl; stir with a whisk until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth. Add apples, tossing to coat. Spoon apple mixture into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with oat mixture. Cover with foil; bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 30 minutes or until browned and bubbly.
