I had some apples left over from the holiday baking, just sitting out there on the counter. And a small baggie with dried cherries. They looked so lonely. Hmmm...I also had a few cups of brown sugar and some butter I should use up. Dessert for tonight !!
Apple-Cherry Pan Crumble
Filling:
4 medium apples (recommend Granny Smith or Fuji); peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/2-inch thick slices
1/4 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons cinnamon
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 tablespoon cornstarch (mixed with a little cold water to make a slurry)
Topping:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup oats
1/2 cup butter, melted
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350ยบ F.
In medium cast iron skillet, add apples, cherries, water, cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat slightly and cook till apples are just tender (can stick a fork in easily). Add cornstarch slurry to thicken liquid.
Meanwhile, make topping. In medium bowl, mix topping ingredients well. Mixture should be crumbly.
Place topping over apples in skillet.
Place skillet on lined baking sheet. Place in 350-degree oven for 30 minutes.
Cool. Top with whipped cream or ice cream.
(Sorry no pictures this time - still fussing with lighting)
