Ingredients
cooking spray 1 cup rolled oats ½ cup brown sugar, packed 1⁄3 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (3⁄4 stick) 1½ pounds tart apples, peeled, cored, quartered and cut into 1⁄4-inch slices* 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice ½ cup dried cranberries 2 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger ½ cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons honey 1 teaspoon vanilla
Preparation
Place the rack in position A and preheat the toaster oven to 350ºF. Lightly coat an 8x8-inch (6-cup) glass or ceramic baking dish with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine the rolled 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. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice, cranberries, chopped ginger, granulated sugar, honey, and vanilla. Spoon the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with the reserved crumb mixture. Bake for 40 to 45 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 or frozen yogurt, or freshly whipped cream. *For ease in slicing, use the Cuisinart® food processor fitted with the 4mm slicing disc.
