Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup old fashioned rolled oats

2/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 egg white

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

7 large tart apples -- peeled and sliced

1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cup apple juice

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 tablespoon cornstarch

 

CRUST: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sprau 9-inch pie pan with cooking

spray. In large bowl, mix flour, oats, 2/3 cup sugar, cinnamon, and baking

soda. In medium bowl, mix 3/4 cup applesauce, egg white and vanilla. Add

applesauce mixture to flour mixture and stir until well blended- it may be

easier to use your hands. If mixture seems too dry to roll out, stir in up

to 1/4 cup more applesauce.

On lightly floured surface, using lightly floured roling pin, roll out

half of oat mixture to form 12-inch circle. Reserve remaining mixture for

top of pie. If necessary, press dough into pan with your fingers. Bake

until set, 10 to 13 minutes.

Meanwhile, in saucepan, combine apples, sugar, 1/2 cup apple juice,

cinnamon and vanilla. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until

apples are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. In cup, mix cornstarch and remaining 1/4

cup apple juice. Add to hot apple mixture and cook, stirring constantly,

until thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Spoon apple mixture

into baked crust.

On well-floured surface, using floured rolling pin, roll out remaining

oat mixture to form 11-inch circle. Pierce with fork. Lightly fold in half,

place over filling and unfold. Fold top edge under; crimp edge. Set pie on

baking hseet to catch drips. Bake until crust is firm, 15 to 20 minutes.

Serve warm or chilled.
