Here's a nice seasonal twist on apple crisp. Plump, fresh cranberries make a wonderful base for this low-fat dessert. Enjoy with fat-free whipped topping, some low fat custard sauce or some fat-free frozen yogurt.

Correction: Someone spotted a lack of cranberries in the instructions. They are added the same time as the apples. Apologies.

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 8 ounces fresh cranberries, washed and picked through
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice or apple cider
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp butter, cut into tiny pieces

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Placed sliced apples and cranberries in an 8x8 inch glass baking dish. Drizzle with lemon juice.

Pour all but 2 tbsp of apple juice over sliced apples and cranberries.

Whisk oats, brown sugar and flour together. Rub butter pieces into oat mixture. Sprinkle on top of apples. Drizzle remaining apple juice.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
