Ingredients
  

  • medium apple, McIntosh, peeled and thinly sliced s
  • Tbsp reduced-calorie margarine chilled and cut up in small chunks
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • Tbsp water or more if necessary
  • /3 cup uncooked old fashioned oats
  • tsp sugar

  • Tbsp reduced-calorie margarine melted
  • Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • /4 cup sugar
  • /2 tsp ground cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Start by making the crust. First, in a large mixing bowl or a food processor, combine 2 teaspoons of sugar and 1 cup of flour. Add 3 tablespoons of chilled, reduced calorie margarine and process until mixture looks crumbly, like coarse meal. If you don’t have a food processor, just use your fingers. Then start to mix in cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix well forming a dough. Using a rolling pin, flatten dough in a circle a bit larger than a9-inch pie pan. Press dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan.
  2. Next, make the filling. To do this, combine 1/4 cup of sugar, apples, cinnamon and cornstarch in a large bowl; add in the apple slices and toss to coat. Place mixture in prepared piecrust.
  3. Finally, make the topping by mixing 2 tablespoons of sugar, melted margarine, 5 tablespoons of flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar and oats in a small bowl; scatter over apples.
  4. Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes or until crumbly topping is golden brown in color and apples are tender. Cool for at least a half hour before serving. Serves
