• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 3/4 cup soy-free Earth Balance spread or butter or margarine, softened

Preparation

Step 1

Makes 8 1/2 cup Warm Crumble Servings or 16 Chilled Bars


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x9 pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine first five ingredients and mix well.

Add the honey and Earth balance, butter or margarine and mix on low with a handheld mixer until soft and crumbly.

Add two-thirds of the mixture to the bottom of the prepared pan, pressing gently with your hands. Add the cup of apple butter and spread to cover evenly.

Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the top of the apple butter.

Place in the oven for 35 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to slightly cool. The amazing thing about this recipe is that you can drop it warm into a bowl and top it with vanilla ice cream and a bit more apple butter and it's delectable. Or you can eat it without any extra toppings at all and it's still magnificent.
