                                          Instructions
                                           

                                          • Preheat oven to 400 ºF. Cover a sheet pan with parchment paper.
                                          • Wash beets well, scrubbing gently with a produce brush. Pat dry well. Do not peel. Rub each beet with ⅛ teaspoon oil. Distribute oiled beets evenly on pan. Roast for 25-35 minutes or until al dente. The beets are done when they can be punctured with a paring knife and the skin is blistered. When cool enough to handle, use the back of a paring knife to scrape away the skin.
                                          • Dice into medium (⅜ inch) cubes.
                                          • Drain apples and reserve the liquid. Chop apples into ⅜ inch chunks. Combine apples, liquid, and beets in a large bowl.
                                          • Add apple juice, cornstarch, and half of brown sugar to apple/beet mixture. Mix well.
                                          • Preheat oven to 400 ºF.
                                          • Split mixture between two 2 inch bun pans. Bake for 30 minutes. Beets and apples will be fork tender and mixture will be thick and bubbling.
                                          • Dice margarine into 1 inch cubes. Keep cold.
                                          • Combine cold margarine cubes, oats, and remaining brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Use gloved hands to create thoroughly mixed “crumbly” topping. Spread topping evenly on a full sheet pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 400 ºF or until topping is golden brown.
                                          • After toasting, spread topping evenly over filling. Bake an additional 10 minutes at 400 ºF.
                                            Critical Control Point: Hold for hot service at 135 ºF or higher.
                                          • Serve ⅔ cup (No. 6 scoop).
