The second recipe which Minoo shared with us in the Caring Place community kitchen was Apple Cranberry Crisp. This is a good way to include oats in a recipe. Oat is high in fiber and can help lower bad cholesterol and may reduce the risk of heart disease.

The Apple Cranberry Crisp is best served warm with some vanilla ice-creams. The apple goes really well with the cranberry. You may substitute the apples with peaches or cranberries with rhubarbs.

Ingredients

Crust:

• Approximately 1 1/2 cups oats
• Approximately 1/2 cup flour
• 2 to 3 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg
• 1/4 cup honey

Fruit mixture:

• a small can of cranberries (or 1/2 cup fresh cranberries, cooked)
• 2 to 3 apples, thinly sliced
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Mix all the ingredients for the crust together in a bowl and set them aside.

• Mix the apples, cranberries, honey and spices in another bowl.

• Pour the fruit mixtures into a buttered baking pan. Make sure the fruit mixture covers the whole bottom of the pan and evenly distributed.

• Sprinkle the crust mixtures over the fruit covering it as best as you can. It’s okay if some of the fruit shows through.

• Bake at 350F for 30 to 40 minutes or until the crust turns brown. Let cool and serve warm.

This recipe is good for after school snack or dessert. Minoo, thank you for sharing again.
