BERRY APPLE CRUMBLE

8 to 10 tart apples, peeled and sliced

2 tbsp cornstarch
1 can (12-oz) frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp lemon juice
1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

TOPPING:
2 cups quick oats
1/2 cup white whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup canola or coconut oil
1/3 cup maple syrup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place apples in a greased 13 X 9 X 2-inch baking pan or dish; set aside.

Combine the cornstarch and apple juice in a saucepan; bring to a boil and cook, stirring, approximately 2 minutes until thickened. Add the butter, cinnamon and lemon juice to the mixture; pour over the apples.

Sprinkle the berries overall. (Save 4 or 5 berries for garnish, if desired.)

To make the topping, combine the oats, flour, and walnuts in a bowl. When well combined, stir in the oil and syrup. Sprinkle the mixture over the berries.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes until bubbly and topping is golden brown.

Yield: 10-12 servings.
