INSTRUCTIONS
From: Paul MacGregor <tiny@onramp.net> Preheat the oven to 350øF.
Line an 8x8x2-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving a
2-inch overhang around all the sides. Coat with nonstick cooking
spray. On a baking sheet, spread the oats in an even layer. Bake for 8
minutes or until lightly toasted. Leave the oven on. In a food
processor process the oats and flour until coarsely ground. Transfer
to a bowl. Stir in the sugar. With your fingertips, blend in the
vegetable oil spread until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press
the dough evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about
10 minutes or until lightly colored. For the Topping: Meanwhile, in a
medium bowl toss the apples with the lemon juice. In another medium
bowl, combine the flour, sugar and cinnamon. With the fingertips work
in the vegetable oil spread until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Spoon the apples over the top of the baked dough. Scatter the flour
mixture evenly over the apples. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the
topping is lightly crisped and the apples are tender. Transfer the pan
to a wire rack; cool about 15 minutes. Using the foil overhang as
handles, lift the square out of the pan. Cool slightly. Cut into 16
cooky/bars. Serve warm or store, covered in the refrigerator. Makes
16 square cooky bars. Nutritional analysis: per bar: 98 calories, 3g
