APPLE CRUNCH 
8 to 10 med. cooking apples
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 c. walnuts
1/4 c. sunflower seeds
1/2 c. orange juice
2 c. raw oats
3/4 c. flour
1/2 c. butter
1/3 c. honey
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. sea salt

Peel (if necessary), pare, and slice the apples. Drizzle them with fresh lemon juice. Spread half of them into a large, oblong pan. Melt the butter and honey together. Combine with oats, flour, nuts, seeds, salt, and spices. Spread 1/2 this mixture (actually crumble, it won't really spread) onto apples in pan. Cover with the remaining apples and the rest of the topping. Pour orange juice over the top. Bake 40 to 45 minutes, uncovered, at 375 degrees. Cover if it crisps too quickly.

Substitute pears or peaches for the apples. Reduce baking time to 25 minutes.
