• 2 tsps cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 packet instant oatmeal
• 2 large apples
• 1 fl oz lemon juice
• 1 oz unsweetened applesauce
• 1 oz pecans
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 oz brown sugar

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C).

Peel and halve apples, then core (preferably with a melon-ball cutter).

Cut apples into thin slices and toss with lemon juice and 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl.

Place apples in baking dish, overlapping slices, and sprinkle with water.

Bake until apples are crisp-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, stir together oats, remaining cinnamon, salt, and remaining tablespoon brown sugar in a bowl until combined.

Mix applesauce into oat mixture for topping until evenly distributed.

Sprinkle topping over apples and bake until topping is golden, 20-25 minutes more.


Transfer dishes to a rack to cool at least 10 minutes.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
