Ingredients

For the streusel:

• ¾ cup old-fashioned oats
• ¼ cup whole wheat flour or millet* flour
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, room temperature
• 1 ½ tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

• 6 cups diced red apple
• 2tbsp cornstarch
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F, and coat an 8”-square pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. To prepare the streusel topping, whisk together the oats, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Make a well in the center. Pour in the maple syrup and melted butter. Stir until fully incorporated.
3. To prepare the filling, toss the apples with the cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl until completely coated.
4. Transfer the filling to the prepared pan, and gently press down with a spatula. Sprinkle evenly with the topping. (The topping tends to clump, so try to break it up into fairly small pieces.) Bake at 350°F for 50-60 minutes or until the apples are fork tender. Cool completely to room temperature; then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving to allow the juices to fully thicken.

*Honey or agave may be substituted for the pure maple syrup.
