This is a wonderfully healthy dessert that I served last night with low fat plain yoghurt and strawberries on the side. You can serve it with ice cream or frozen yoghurt if you prefer. It is best served warm. This recipe is enough to fill a 8' x 10' baking dish. It can be kept covered in the fridge for a few days and warmed again before serving.Ingredients:
1/2 cup quick cooking rolled oats
4 tbsps brown sugar
1 heaping tablespoon whole wheat flour
4 tsps sunflower oil
6 or 7 large apples (your choice), peeled, cored and sliced thinly
1 cup dried cranberries
1 tbsp lemon or lime juice
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375F. Lightly oil an 8' x 10' glass baking dish.
2. In a small bowl, combine the oats, 2 tbsps brown sugar & the flour. Drizzle the four tsps sunflower oil over the mixture and then mix together with a fork until mixture is crumbly.
3. In a large bowl, combine the apples, cranberries, remaining 2 tbsps brown sugar, the lemon or lime juice, cinnamon & nutmeg. Toss well to combine.
4. Spoon apple mixture into the baking dish. Sprinkle with the oat mixture. Bake until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown--about 35 to 40 minutes.
