Ingredients

• 3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
• 3/4 cup warm apple juice (I used apple cider)
• 2 tablespoons oil (recipe calls for Enova Oil)
• 2 large egg whites
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon margarine
• cooking spray
• 1 cup packed brown sugar, divided
• 1 large granny smith apple, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Combine oats, apple juice and oil in a small bowl; let stand 10 minutes. Stir in egg whites and vanilla.

3. Pour margarine in the bottom of a 9-inch cake pan coated with cooking spray.

4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup brown sugar. Arrange apple slices spoke-like on top of brown sugar, working from the center of pan to edge.

5. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.

6. Combine 3/4 cup brown sugar, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl, stir with a whisk. Add oat mixture; stir just until moist. Pour batter into prepared pan.

7. Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.

8. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Place a plate upside down on top of cake; invert onto plate. Cut into wedges. Makes 8 servings.
