An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away...

Here's a quick, easy recipe for apple crisp I found:

1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup quick oats
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 pounds apples (about 6, medium size)
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp. butter

Preheat oven to 375F. In a small bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, oats and brown sugar. Wash and peel apples. Quarter them; cut out core and seeds. Slice apple quarters. Spread apples in a 12 x 8 inch baking pan. Add 1/2 cup of water to the pan. Sprinkle cinnamon and topping mixture over apples. Dot with butter. Bake for about 45 minutes or until apples are soft and topping is browned.

Makes 6 servings. Each contains about 134 calories, 1 gram protein, 3 grams fat, no cholesterol, 28 grams carbohydrates, 3 grams fiber and 44 milligrams sodium. For more crunch, add 1/3 cup walnuts, which adds 38 calories, 1 gram protein, 4 grams fat, 1 gram carbohydrate and no cholesterol, fiber or sodium to each serving!

Bon appetit and enjoy this health treat!
