This twist on an old-fashioned apple crumble is perfect for any occasion. The tart cranberries mixed with the natural sweetness of apples and blueberries will make you want to start the meal with dessert!

Ingredients

Serves: 8

  • 2 apples, peeled, cored and chopped (about 2 cups/500 mL)
  • 2 cups (500 mL) fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 2 cups (500 mL) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Zest of an orange
  • 1½ Tbsp (22.5 mL) cornstarch
  • 1 cup (250 mL) large flake oats
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) loosely packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) cinnamon
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) non-hydrogenated margarine, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9-inch pie plate or 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Mix apples, cranberries, blueberries, orange zest and cornstarch in a large bowl. Pour into pie pan or baking dish.
  3. Combine oats, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Pour in melted margarine and mix well. Sprinkle the mixture evenly on top of the fruit mixture.
  4. Bake for 55 minutes until topping is golden and filling is bubbly. Serve warm.

Tips

  • Alternative: You can use many fresh or frozen fruits in place of apples and berries; for example, strawberries and rhubarb in the spring or just all apples in the fall. Use 6 cups (1.5 L) total to replace.
  • Substitution: If you prefer non-nutritive sweetener, follow package directions to replace the brown sugar used in the recipe.
