Baked apple desserts just scream "FALL!" (Well, not literally. That would be terrifying. But also kinda cool!) So now that autumn is here, make this super-delish, hot-n-fruity dish. Mmmmmmm...

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a 9" X 13" baking pan with nonstick spray and set aside.

Lightly toast bread and tear into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Place apple slices in a large bowl and toss with lemon juice. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp. brown sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Place cereal in a blender or food processor with 1 tbsp. brown sugar and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Grind to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Transfer to a second bowl. Add butter and mix until evenly dispersed; mixture will be crumbly. Set aside.

In another bowl, combine egg substitute, soymilk, vanilla extract, and remaining 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Mix well. Gently stir in bread pieces. Transfer mixture to the bowl with the apple slices and gently stir to combine.

Evenly spoon apple-bread mixture into the baking pan and top with crumb mixture.

Bake in the oven until firm and lightly browned, 35 - 40 minutes.

Allow to cool slightly, and then slice into sixths. If you like, top each serving with a dollop of Cool Whip. Enjoy!
