LAYERED APPLESAUCE DESSERT 
3/4 c. rolled oats
1/4 c. flaked coconut
1 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. butter
Dash of cinnamon
2 c. (16 oz.) unsweetened applesauce
1/2 c. thawed whipped topping

Combine oats, coconut, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon in 1-quart microwave- safe mixing bowl. Microwave (high) uncovered 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 minutes or until coconut is lightly browned, stirring 3 or 4 times. Cool.

Place about 1 1/2 tablespoons oat mixture in the bottom of 6 dessert dishes. Add 1/3 cup applesauce to each. Top each with remaining oat mixture (about 1 1/2 tablespoon each). Refrigerate until served. Top each with a spoonful of whipped topping just before serving.

The oat mixture is also good served as a topping on ice cream or pudding.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
