Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 apples - peeled, cored, quartered, and cut into 1/4-inch slices
½ lemon, juiced
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup rolled oats
½ cup wheat and barley nugget cereal (such as Grape-Nuts®)
½ cup melted butter
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
⅓ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup white sugar
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  • Mix flour, rolled oats, wheat and barley nugget cereal, melted butter, 1/4 cup white sugar, and 1/4 cup brown sugar together in a large bowl.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup white sugar, and cinnamon into melted butter until sugar begins to dissolve, 3 to 4 minutes. Add apples and water; continue cooking and stirring until apples soften and are coated with sauce, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Pour apples and sugar mixture into a 2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle topping evenly over the apple filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned and the filling is bubbling up around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of fruits and nuts. This will give your cereal a more complex flavor and texture. Consider seasonal, fresh produce and nuts like almonds, walnuts, pecans, and cashews.
  • Chop the fruits and nuts into small pieces. This will make them easier to eat and will help them distribute evenly throughout the cereal.
  • Toast the nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Add a sweetener, if desired. Maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar are all good options. You can also use a sugar substitute, if you prefer.
  • Store the cereal in an airtight container at room temperature. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
