1. 2 cups whole wheat flour
2. 1 teaspoon salt
3. 1 teaspoon baking soda
4. 1 cup packed brown sugar
5. 1 cup rolled oats, such as Quaker Oats
6. 1 cup low fat margarine
7. 4 tablespoons low fat margarine
8. 6 cups thinly sliced apples

Directions

1. Mix flour, salt and baking soda. Add brown sugar and oatmeal, mix well. Cut in 1 cup margarine
2. Spread half of the crumb mixture in a buttered 9 x 13 pan.
3. Put apples on top of bottom layer. Cover with remaining crumb mixture and dot with 4 tablespoons margarine.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 to 45 minutes. It is great served with ice cream!

*Tip* After slicing the apples, sprinkle the slices with drops of lemon juice. The lemon juice will keep the apples from browning.
