The combination of oats, whole wheat pastry flour and walnuts makes the topping taste a little like a granola bar. This dish can be made ahead and warmed in a 250º oven while you eat dinner. It's great served with low-fat vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients:

9 cups peeled, sliced gala apples (about 3 pounds)

1/2 cup fresh cranberries

1/2 cup apple cider or juice

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

dash of salt

1 cup regular oats

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour

1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

1/3 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. To prepare filling, combine apples and next 7 ingredients (apples through dash of salt). Spoon apple mixture into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
3. To prepare topping, combine oats and remaining ingredients. Sprinkle over apple mixture. Cover with foil; bake at 375° for 40 minutes. Uncover; bake an additional 20 minutes or until topping is crisp and juices are thick and bubbly.
