This is a delicious dessert that’s a little lighter than cake but still has a lot of sweetness.

Serves 8

1 cup old-fashioned oats
2/3 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons margarine, melted
8 large baking apples
2 cups cranberry-apple juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, flour and margarine. Mix well.

Cut a ½-inch slice from the top of each apple. Remove core and seeds (sometimes a melon baller helps if you don’t have the right tool). Place apples in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.

Spoon oat mixture into center and on top of each apple. Pour juice over apples. Bake until tender – about 1 hour, basting every 20 minutes. Best served warm. Better served with pareve vanilla ice cream.
