Apple Cranberry Crisp
Serves: 8 Prep: 5min|Cook: 30min |Total: 45min
Ingredients
3 large empire, jonagold, gala, or granny smith
apples, cored and sliced into 1/4" wedges
1/2 cup dried cranberries
3 tablespoons frozen apple juice concentrate,
thawed
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/3 cup whole grain pastry flour
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small
pieces
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Coat a 9" x 9" baking
dish with cooking spray. 2. In a large bowl, mix the apples,
cranberries, apple juice concentrate, and granulated sugar. Place in
the prepared baking dish. 3. In a medium bowl, combine the oats,
flour, brown sugar, butter, salt, and allspice. Mix with your fingers
to form crumbs. Sprinkle over the apple mixture. 4. Cover with foil
and bake for 20 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly and the apples
are tender. Uncover and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the topping
is lightly browned. Cool on a rack for at least 10 minutes before
serving.
Dried fruits add a nice sweetness to baked goods while also adding the
nutritional benefits of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Besides the
classic dried fruits such as prunes, figs, and apricots, look for dried
cherries, blueberries, and strawberries to liven up dishes. They are all
interchangeable in recipes--so use what's on hand at the time.
