Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats ½ cup packed light brown sugar
⅓ cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon table salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 ½ pounds apples, peeled, cored, quartered and cut into ¼-inch slices*
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
½ cup dried cherries
¼ cup raisins
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

*For ease in slicing, use the Cuisinart® Food Processor fitted with the 4 mm slicing disc.

Preparation

Preheat the Cuisinart® Convection Toaster Oven Broiler to 350°F on the bake setting with the rack in position A. Lightly coat an 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the oats with the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture is evenly moistened. Use your fingers to pinch the mixture into large crumbs; reserve.
In a medium bowl, toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice, cherries, raisins, granulated sugar, honey, and vanilla.
Spoon the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with the reserved crumb mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until the apples are tender and the filling is bubbling. Let rest for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream, frozen yogurt, or freshly whipped cream.
