*Fresh apples are better! Peel and slice 6 large cooking apples, mix with 1 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of water and microwave on high approximately 10 minutes or until soft.

Combine the cooked rice, apples, lemon juice, rice syrup and pour into a 9" x 13" pan treated with non-stick oil spray or margarine. Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, salt and cut in margarine until crumbly. Sprinkle over rice-apple mixture. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until brown and bubbly.
