Ingredients

1 cup(s) all-purpose flour

2 tsp sugar

3 tbsp reduced-calorie margarine, chilled and cut up

2 tbsp water, or more if necessary

4 medium apple(s), McIntosh, peeled and thinly sliced

1/4 cup(s) sugar

1 tbsp cornstarch

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/3 cup(s) uncooked old-fashioned oats

5 tbsp all-purpose flour

2 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp reduced-calorie margarine, melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

To make the crust, combine 1 cup of flour and 2 teaspoons of sugar in a large bowl or food

processor. Add 3 tablespoons of chilled margarine and process (or mix together with your fingers if

you do not have a food processor) until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cold water, one

tablespoon at a time, and process or mix until a manageable dough forms. Press dough into the

bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Pinch the edges to form a decorative rim; set aside.

To make the filling, combine apples, 1/4 cup of sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon in a large bowl;

toss to coat apples. Arrange mixture in prepared piecrust.

To make the topping, combine oats, 5 tablespoons of flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar and melted

margarine in a small bowl; sprinkle over apples.

Bake until apples are tender and crumb topping is golden brown, about 45 to 50 minutes. Allow to

cool for 30 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces.

Chef Tips

We Renovated Apple Pie by:

Using reduced-calorie margarine to create a reduced-fat piecrust.

Replacing a second (top) crust with a much lighter crumb topping.

Eliminating butter in the filling.
