Combine the next six ingredients in a bowl.

The recipe may be prepared to this point 24 hours in advance.

Combine the buttermilk, egg, oil, remaining syrup and remaining 1 tablespoon of melted margarine in a bowl. Whisk to blend.

Remove the casserole dish from the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

(190°C.).

Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just enough to combine. Do not overmix.

Spread the batter evenly over the apples.

Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Serve warm with additional syrup if desired. Do NOT freeze.
