In her September newsletter, The Produce Lady says to look for apples that are firm and have no bruises, then store them in the refrigerator for one to two weeks. Larger quantities can be stored in a cool dry place, such as a garage or cellar. Be aware that apples stored at room temperature turn soft faster.
"This is a wonderful, healthy substitute for apple pie. Leave the peel on the apples to increase nutrients and save time. Additional mix-ins, such as fresh or dried cranberries, walnuts, pecans or almonds, can be included as well," The Produce Lady said.
4 cups sliced apples
2 TBS butter
¾ cup quick-cooking oats
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp lemon juice
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Peel apples and cut into slices. Melt butter in a small bowl in the microwave. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except apples. Stir until well blended. Place apples in baking dish and spread oat mixture on top. Bake 45 to 50 minutes until desired brownness. Serves 6.
