Ingredients
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup Quaker quick oats
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/8 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup all-purpose white flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large egg whites
1 tablespoon butter
1 large Jonagold or any tart apple, peeled, cored, and finely diced
8x8-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray
Bring the water to a boil in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the oats. When the liquid returns to a boil, stir in the salt. Reduce the heat and simmer 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly until the oats are soft and the water is almost completely absorbed. Remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar, applesauce, and oil.
Heat oven to 350 and spray the pan. Melt butter in frying pan, add apples, and cook until softened.
Stir the eggs into the oat mixture and mix well. Add, one at a time, mixing well with each addition, the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Add the apples and stir just until moistened. Spread in the prepared pan, making sure the apples are evenly distributed.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Best served warm. Great as breakfast or a snack. True to my roots, I warmed a piece in a bowl and poured a little milk over it. Ooooh....
