Winter time makes me happy:) Not because I love the snow and ice (which I don't), or the crisp air, but because of the feeling that the season brings. With Thanksgiving preceding Christmas and New Years right behind, the season in general just brings a feeling of happiness, and while I hate to sound like a glutton, the food contributes to much of what brings everyone so much closer at this time of year. For some reason, the spread of a Thanksgiving dinner inevitably puts a smile on everyone's face, and the treats brought out every Christmastime brings loved ones from near and far closer then they planned on being. Regardless of the occasion, everyone loves sharing holiday recipes, so here's my first contribution of the season :)
Winter Crisp
What you'll need:
4 Granny Smith Apples, peeled and sliced
2 cups fresh Cranberries (keyword: FRESH)
8 oz. canned crushed Pineapple in Juice (undrained)
1/2 cup Sugar
1 cup firmly packed Light Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Flour
1/2 cup Butter
1 cup uncooked Regular/Old-Fashioned Oats
1 cup chopped Pecans
What you'll do:
1. After peeling and slicing the apples, layer them in a lightly greased, glass 13x9" pan, spread the cranberries evenly on top, and then top it all off evenly with the crushed pineapple
2. Combine the brown sugar, flour, and butter until the mixture becomes crumbly, then add the oats and pecans
3. Sprinkle the oat mixture over the apples, cranberries, and pineapple, and bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes
Enjoy! :)
