Gluten-Free Rice Chex Crust Chewy Apple Bake
This is a wonderful Dessert for Anyone, but particularly for people who need a Gluten-Free Diet.
(Makes 4 to 6 Servings)

Apples (c.2009, WTB)
Ingredients:
- 4 Granny Smith Apples (peeled and sliced in thin 1/4 inch wedges).
- 1/4 Cup Margarine or Unsalted Butter. *
- 2 Tablespoons of Brown Sugar. *
- 2 Tablespoons of White Sugar.
- Sprinkles of Cinnamon.
- Juice of 1/4 Lemon. *
- 2 & 1/2 Cups of Rice Chex. *
- 2 Large Fresh Eggs.
Process:
- In a large measuring cup, mix the Rice Chex, then the eggs and the white sugar.
- Mix this with a fork so that you semi-crush the Rice Chex as you mix it.
- Poor the Rice Chex mixture into the bottom of a greased/buttered 9×5 baking loaf pan.
- Use the fork to press the ingredients against the bottom so that it forms a semi-cooked crust about 1/2 inch thick.
- Add the apples on top of the crust mixture.
- Sprinkle the Drops of Butter/Margarine, Brown Sugar, Cinnamon and Lemon juice over the Apples.
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake covered at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes.
- Uncover and bake for 20-30 minutes to brown.
- Serve hot (or cold if preferred) plain or with a topping such as Whipped Cream, White Icing or Ice Cream. *
One can also compliment this dish with small amounts of other fruits, such as pears or peaches, raisins etc. *
* Be sure to use Gluten-Free versions of these ingredients.
Chex is reported to be Gluten-Free according to its manufacturer.

THis sounds wonderful, but I am not sure as to what type pan you are referring. Do you mean to use a 9×5 loaf pan, such as for quick bread? Usually a posted recipe will give the pan size. THank you, and I am looking forward to trying this.

Response to Reader Comment: Connie asked about the size of the baking pan. This is an excellent question. I looked up a chart of baking pan sizes and on Joy of Cooking at (http://www.joyofbaking.com/PanSizes.html) and it seems the best fit with this recipe as I make it is a 9×5 baking loaf pan. Thanks Connie!
