Apple Cranberry Crisp Recipe

- 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups rolled or quick oats
- 3/4 cup date sugar or natural brown sugar
- 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold butter, cut in small pieces
How To Make Cranberry Apple Crisp
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 X 13 inch baking pan or casserole dish with vegetable spray. Stoneware dishes work great for this dessert too.

- Combine rolled oats, date or brown sugar, 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour and 1 teaspoon sugar in a large bowl. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly, or it resembles very small peas. This step can also be done in a food processor. Spread evenly over fruit.
