BERRY-APPLE SKILLET CRUMBLE

Berry-Apple Skillet Crumble image

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large crisp, sweet apples
2 tablespoons nonhydrogenated margarine
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries or cranberries, completely thawed
2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup muesli or granola
1 tablespoon natural granulated sugar
Vanilla frozen nondairy dessert, optional

Steps:

Peel the apples and cut into fairly thin (about 1/4-inch) slices
Heat the margarine in a medium skillet. Add the apples. Sauté, stirring frequently, until they have softened but still hold their shape, about 4 minutes.
Add the berries, maple syrup to taste, and cinnamon, and cook until the berries have started to burst and the apples are just tender, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
In a small container, combine the cornstarch with just enough cold water to dissolve smoothly. Stir it into the skillet. Cook briefly, just until the liquid in the skillet is thickened, then remove from the heat.
Heat a smaller skillet. Add the muesli and sugar and toast over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture turns a shade darker and smells nutty, 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle evenly over the surface of the fruit.
Allow the crumble to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then serve in small bowls. If desired, top each serving with a dollop of frozen dessert.
