Apple and Cranberry Cobbler

SERVES 12

6 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into 8 slices each
2 cups whole fresh cranberries
1/2 cup no calorie sweetener
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 cups Oat Topping (see recipe below)

Oat Topping | Makes 2 cups

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 whole wheat flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup light brown sugar, not packed
1/4 cup no calorie sweetener
4 Tbsp butter and margarine blend, chilled/cubed
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

In a medium-size bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar and sugar substitute. Stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to the bowl of a food processor, add the margarine blend, and process until the texture becomes crumbly. With a wooden spoon, stir in the walnuts. Use immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray twelve ramekins or one 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the apples, cranberries, sugar substitute, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins (or place in the baking dish). Top each ramekin with 2 1/2 Tbsp of the oat topping (or spread all of the topping over the baking dish).

Place the ramekins (or baking dish) on a baking pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling starts to bubble. Serve warm.
