Beef Stew; Baked Apple Crisp; LIVESTRONG; Breast Cancer

I have a couple great fall recipes for you! I know I put a lot of chicken & turkey recipes here because I am just not a fan of red meat so I don't cook it... BUT, I know many of you out there are & why not offer up a recipe that warms you up during the cooler months & also has a decent nutritional profile! Found this recipe in Oxygen Women's Fitness.
Beef Stew
Being lazy again so just providing a pic of the ingredients and directions along with the nutritional profile. It takes me forever to type it out. I think I wrote about my typing class in high school... not a pretty pic! 
Of course it is easy to change up the veggies to what you want & add or delete spices to meet your taste buds. If you want to reduce the sodium, feel free to adjust that as well! I think this looks pretty dang good!!!!
In addition, it was a bit of a tease on the baked apple crisp.... but I think the ease of this for a yummy snack, had to share.... and saw it in Oxygen Women's Fitness too. It was a reader recipe.
Baked Apple Crisp: Put a quartered apple with a bit of water into an ovenproof pan. In a bowl, mix 1/4 cup dry oats with 2 TBSP of water. Top apples with the oat mixture & sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until topping is crispy.
Now this sounds yummy to me!!! I was thinking of how I could add some protein powder & maybe a smidge of brown sugar to the oat mixture. Not being a cook or baker, anyone out there think that would be OK???
Don't forget LIVESTRONG day tomorrow! Let's fight this!!!
It is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Jody, Thanks for the Apple Crisp recipe. I just bought some Honeycrisp apples (rather pricey) and they turned out to be blaaaahhhh -- usually Honeycrisps are delicious. I needed a recipe for them (didn't want to throw them out but they aren't worth eating raw) so thank you.
I still haven't figured out why you, and a few others, are having trouble getting to and commenting at my blog. I wish someone could help me with this. At any rate, I'll include my blogsite here: http://marsial2010.blogspot.com/ and hope that it might help you get there easier.
