Recipe - Quicky Crumble

3 tablespoon Butter or margarine
Whole wheat Shreddies
1 Granysmith or Macintosh
apple, cored
1 tablespoon Brown sugar
1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Measure as much cereal as you want in your bowl (I use about 2 cups). Crush
to fine crumbs in blender, or place in a plastic bag, hold it shut, and
crush with the heel of your hand. Pour into medium mixing bowl. In a
onecup measure, microwave the butter on 100% power until melted; work
butter into crumbs until mixture is moist and crumbly. Slice apple into
thin, even slices, then place in microwavesafe, shallow baking dish.
Spread cereal mixture evenly over apple slices. Microwave on 50% power 3
min, or until heated through and apple is tender. Sprinkle with cinnamon
and brown sugar; microwave on 50% power 2 min longer. Serve hot with a
little milk, a pat of butter or jam, or some fresh fruit.

Variations: I have enjoyed this dish with banana slices in place of the
apple. Also, substitute 1 tablespoon your favorite jam for 1 tablespoon of the butter. Stir
the jam into the butter in the cup immediately after butter is melted. Try
using an uncooked hot cereal, such as Cream of Wheat or Quaker Oat bran in
place of the Shreddies, for a deliciously different porridge. Serve with
whipped cream, ice cream or yogurt for dessert.
