Source: Bridges Healthy Cooking School

Ingredients

  • 6 large apples, sliced (I use macintosh)
  • 1 c. dried cherries (Door County)
  • 3 Tbls. whole wheat pastry flour
  • 3 Tbls. dark brown sugar
  • 1 Tbls. dark honey (regular honey will work)
  • 3 Tbls. extra virgin olive oil
  • Frozen Vanilla Yogurt or Vanilla Ice Cream, optional

Topping

  • 1 c. old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 c. sliced almonds
  • 2 Tbls. whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 3 Tbls. dark brown sugar
  • 1-1/4 t. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 t. ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 t. salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9 x 9-inch square deep baking dish with a light coating of olive oil.

In a separate bowl, place thinly sliced apples and cherries. Add flour and sugar and toss to coat; add to the baking pan.

In a separate bowl, combine all the ingredients for the topping; drizzle with honey and olive oil and mix to coat. Sprinkle topping over the fruit.

Bake about 45-50 minutes or until the apples are soft and the topping is lightly browned.

NOTE: Serve warm with frozen vanilla yogurt or ice cream.
