Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375. Coat an 8-inch square (or 2-quart) deep baking dish with cooking spray.

Combine apples with sugar/Splenda, lemon juice and 1/2 tsp cinnamon in a large bowl. Toss to mix. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine whole-wheat flour, oats, brown sugar and the remaining 1/2 tsp cinnamon in a medium bowl. Mix to blend. Using fingers, fork or pastry blender, cut in butter until evenly distributed and there are no chunks. Stir in oil, apple juice concentrate and nuts. Toss well until evenly moistened and clumpy.

Remove the foil from the baking dish and scatter the topping evenly over the apples. Continue to bake, uncovered, until the topping had browned and the fruit is soft and bubbling--about 30 minutes more.

Let cool for at least 15 minutes when done. Serve while warm.
