Apple Cobber/Baked Spiced Apples...

So, I set out to make this recipe by Hungry Girl.

Ingredients:
3 c peeled apple chunks, any sweet, not tart, variety (I used Fuji, and I didn't peel them)
1/2 c Fiber One bran cereal, original (I used Total)
2 sheets low-fat honey graham crackers
2 T fat-free liquid egg substitute
2 T no-sugar-added applesauce
3 T Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, granulated, divided (I used sugar)
2 T brown sugar, not packed
1 T cornstarch
2 tsp cinnamon, divided
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400F.
Combine 2/3 c cold water with brown sugar, cornstarch, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, vanilla, salt, and 1 T sugar. Stir well.
In a medium-sized pot, combine apple chunks with this mixture. Heat the apple mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Once liquid thickens to a syrupy consistency and begins to bubble, reduce heat to low and cover. Allow to simmer for 5 min and then transfer mixture to a medium-sized baking dish. Set aside.
Next, break graham crackers into small pieces. Place graham pieces and cereal in a blender or food processor and grind to a breadcrumb-like consistency.
Transfer crumbs to a microwave-safe dish and add egg substitute, applesauce, 1-1/2 tsp of cinnamon and the remaining 2T of sugar. Stir well.
Microwave graham mixture for 1 minute. Use a fork to break up the mixture and then allow it to cool for a few minutes.
Transfer graham mixture to a food processor or blender and pulse until crumbly and uniform.
Evenly distribute graham topping over apple mixture. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Allow cobbler to cool slightly before serving.
Makes 4 servings.

But... as I said, that is what I SET OUT to do. Unfortunately something went wrong with the topping! The only thing I can think is that I did not have quite enough cereal (wet to dry ratio?) or did not let it cool long enough before putting it in the food processor. At any rate... it did NOT crumble. Have you ever seen those "litter box" cakes that people for some reason sometimes make?? Yeah, it was like that (NOT the litter part)... I put it on anyway hoping maybe it would melt over the apples, but when it came out... it didn't look any better. :( So I ditched the topping, which is why I labeled this "/Baked Spiced Apples".
