6 medium apples
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup rice syrup
TOPPING
2 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/3 cup

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Core and slice the apples (peel if not organic), and place them in an 11-x-7-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon juice and drizzle with rice syrup. Set aside.
3. To make the topping, place the oats and oil in a food processor, and blend until well combined. While continuing to blend, add the vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, and rice syrup. Blend a few seconds more to form a sticky dough.
4. Distribute the dough over the top of the apple mixture, using a wet fork to spread it out and flatten somewhat. (Don’t worry if it looks a little sloppy—it will look just fine after it’s baked.)
5. Bake for 50 minutes or until the apples are tender and bubbly and the topping is crisp and brown. 6. Serve hot from the oven.

For a Change . . .
* Instead of drizzling rice syrup over the apples (Step 2), add 1/2 cup raisins or currants and about 1/4 cup apple juice or water.
* Substitute blueberries, blackberries, or sliced pears for a portion of the apples.
* Add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to topping.
