Fresh Apricot Crumble

Makes 9 servings

This is a perfect summer dessert when fresh apricots are abundant and flavorful.

4 cups coarsely chopped fresh apricots
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup sugar or other sweetener
1/4 cup Corn Butter or non-hydrogenated, dairy-free margarine
2 tablespoons water
1 vegetable oil spray
Preheat oven to 350°F.

Toss chopped apricots with lemon juice and set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix together oats, sugar or other sweetener, and Corn Butter or margarine. Remove 1 cup of the mixture and set aside. Add water to the remainder and mix until crumbly.

Pat oat and water mixture into a vegetable oil sprayed 9"×9" baking pan. Spread evenly with apricots and top with reserved oat mixture. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until top crust is lightly browned.
