Crunchy Crust Apple Pie

Make a pie crust using Grape Nuts cereal and just enough frozen apple juice concentrate to make the cereal wet and sticky and press the mixture in a pie pan. (probably about 1/3 cup)

Core, peel and dice 5 or 6 apples. I used Red Delicious because that's what I had.
Add 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp cloves and 1/4 tsp nutmeg and toss to coat the apples. (I just used whatever I found in the spice cabinet)
Add 1/4 c whole wheat flour and stir again.
I added the juice of 1/2 lemon to keep the apples from getting dark.
Add 1/2 c. brown sugar (I used the Splenda half and half brown sugar) and about 1/4 c. maple syrup to sweeten.

Put the apple mixture in the crust and bake 30 minutes at 350.
