Although the photos look dark (ok…burnt), the dessert was perfect.  You see, I used molasses in place of the brown sugar which colored my wheat bread a very dark, almost black color before it was cooked.  The result:  Excellent!  We really loved the molasses, not too sweet flavor.  For the original recipe, go to Jessica’s site or HERE for the foodnetwork online version.  The Apple Crumbles version goes like this…..

  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, divided  *Ellie uses 1 tsp
  • 1 TBS Promise Healthy Heart margarine, melted  *Ellie uses 2 TBS Butter
  • 3 slices of whole wheat bread, chopped up really small  *Ellie uses the same amount with more apples than I used.

Combine apples, cider, 1 TBS molasses, vanilla, 1 tsp cinnamon in large pan over medium high heat. Cook and stir occasionally for about 10 minutes.  Remove from heat and pour into a 9” pie plate.
