This home style crisp is full of fiber from the apples and whole grain flour. Walnuts add crunch and protein. Try it for dessert with ice cream or for breakfast with yogurt!
Ingredients:
¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup turbinado sugar, plus 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
½ cup dried cranberries
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cut into small cubes
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
3 pounds apples, such as Honeycrisp, Empire, or Gala peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
Steps/Methods:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together flour, walnuts, salt, and 2
tablespoons granulated sugar. Cut butter into flour, using two knives or your hands, until
mixture is the texture of coarse meal. Add oats, and use your hands to toss and squeeze
mixture until large, moist lumps form. Transfer to freezer to chill while you prepare apples.
In another large bowl, toss apples with dried cranberries, orange juice, cinnamon, and
remaining ½ cup turbinado sugar. Transfer to a shallow 2-quart baking dish, and sprinkle
with topping mixture. Place baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until golden
and bubbling, 50 to 55 minutes.
