Golden delicious crunch!


Golden Delicious Crunch

[Servings 4-6]

[ready in an hour]


Ingredients

Cast iron skillet 12” [a 12” round baking pan works also!]

2 tablespoons of fresh ground cinnamon

3 tablespoons of organic sugar

2 tablespoons of organic honey

3 ½ tablespoons of unsalted butter

1 tablespoon of flour

¼ cup of white wine

4 medium golden delicious apples, peeled and sliced

1 ¾ cup of granola [we used organic granola almond crunch bars]

TIPS:Make sure your golden delicious apples are ripe, that way they’re sweet and juicy. Use your favorite type of granola, granola cereal or granola fruit bars ;) and fresh cinnamon, the spice is amazing to your taste buds!

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F

In a bag, preferably a zip lock bag, combine whatever type of granola you may have and grind it up. [We used a rolling pin to do this]

Then…In the cast iron pan or skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 tablespoon of flour and whisk together.

Add sliced apples to pan. Cook for 5 minutes; add ¼ cup of white wine, 3 tablespoons of dark brown sugar and sauté for 6-8 minutes over medium heat. Apples should be tender but not too soft.

While the apples cook…

Combine in a medium sized bowl grinded up granola crunch, 1 ½ tablespoon of room temperature butter and 2 tablespoons of honey.

Add granola crunch to cast iron pan on top of apples and set in oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until granola crunch is golden brown.

Take out of oven, let sit for 5 minutes; let the warm delicious smell of apples fill your home.

Drizzle some organic honey on top if desired and serve =)


Cheers,

TMJ
