Poached apple slices sit atop a flourless hazelnut crust. The crust can be prepared ahead of time, if desired, but the fruit should be put on top just before serving.

1 cup crushed shredded wheat cereal
1/2 cup finely chopped toasted hazelnuts
3 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
1 large egg white
4 Golden Delicious apples, cored and sliced
2 cups apple juice
