Apple Cranberry Walnut Fruit Crisp Recipe

Apple Cranberry Walnut Fruit Crisp

Prep: 30 Minutes
Bake: 30 minutes
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:

• 5 cups sliced apples (unpeeled for extra fiber)
• 1/4-1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1 cup regular rolled oats
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (I use 1/4 C four and 1/4 C flaxseed meal for added nutritional benefit)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/4-1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:

1. Place apples and cranberries  together in a 2-quart square baking dish.
2. Combine all of the rest of the ingredients together to make the topping. Mixture will resemble coarse crumbs.
3. Sprinkle this topping over the fruit.
4. Bake in a 375f oven for 30-35 minutes or until the fruit is tender and the topping is golden.

Note: 1) This is great with vanilla icecream! 2) If you're like me, you want to double the topping portion. Don't. I already did it for you. :-)

Variation: if you're short on time, just use a can of pie filling in place of the fruit and put in the oven on your "broil" setting for a few minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Watch it--it won't take long to warm through!
