fireunApple Cranberry Crisp
Base Recipe from Whole Foods
http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/rec
3 to 4 medium to large crisp red apples, peeled and sliced
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries (frozen are nice and convenient, and you can get two batches out of one bag)
1/2 cup apple juice (I used cider)
1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour (I used wheat)
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice*
2 cups granola
Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine apples and cranberries and pour into an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together apple juice, flour and pumpkin pie spice. Pour over the fruit. Sprinkle granola evenly over the fruit and lightly press down. Bake until hot and bubbly, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm, room temperature or cold.
*Instead of using pumpkin pie spice you can simply mix nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, and ginger. I didn't measure, technically, but it was probably about 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/8-1/4 tsp nutmeg, allspice, and ginger. It flavors the crisp beautifully.
No added sugar, but still delightfully sweet from the natural sugars in the fruit. Have fun with the granola- I am particularly fond of hemp/flax granola, so that is what I used. I would assume some of the flavored, like maple or apple cinnamon, would add a neat kick to the finished product. The house smelled amazing while this was baking, and it is insanely easy to throw together.
