Time 1h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Zest and juice of 2 large oranges
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
3 pounds Granny Smith apples (6 to 8 apples)
3 pounds sweet red apples, such as Macoun (6 to 8 apples)
1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
12 ounces fresh raspberries (2 packages)
Vanilla ice cream, such as Haagen-Dazs, for serving
Orange zest, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the zest and juice of the oranges and lemon in a large (11-inch) ovenproof pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset. Peel, quarter, and core the apples and add them to the pot, tossing them with the juices as you go.

Colorful and delicious, this isn't any ordinary applesauce. Adding chia seeds amps up the nutritional value of this snack; chia is high in calcium and a great source of omega-3 fatty acids.

RASPBERRY SQUARES



Raspberry Squares image

I love raspberry and almonds together! I adapted this recipe from one I found on America's Test Kitchen. Toasting the nuts adds great flavor so don't skip this step. This recipe is easily doubled and would then be made in a 15" jelly roll pan.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups oats
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup toasted almond, finely chopped (pecans or walnuts are good too)
12 tablespoons butter, cut into 12 pieces and softened but still cool
1 cup raspberry preserves (or what ever flavor strikes your fancy, SEE NOTE)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees, spray a 9x13" pan with nonstick cooking spray, you may also line the pan with foil with extra hanging over for easier removal, spray foil.
  • In mixer bowl, mix flour, oats, sugars, extract, baking soda, salt, and nuts at low speed until combined, about 30 seconds. With mixer running at low speed, add butter pieces; continue to beat until mixture is well-blended and resembles wet sand, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer 2/3 of mixture to prepared pan and use hands to press crumbs evenly into bottom, bake until starting to brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Using rubber spatula spread preserves evenly over hot bottom crust; sprinkle remaining oat/nut mixture evenly over preserves; bake until preserves bubble around edges and top is golden brown, about 30 minutes, turn pan halfway through baking time.
  • Cool on wire rack then remove from pan using foil handles, cut into squares.
  • NOTE:.
  • After reading the first reviews for this, I realized the jam I used is lower sugar than many jams (9 gms per TBLS) It would be worth it to find a type that isn't overly sweet or try adding a little lemon juice to cut the sweetness.

RASPBERRY APPLESAUCE



Raspberry Applesauce image

I altered a basic applesauce recipe to come up with this flavored version. Other variations can be made by substituting another flavor of jam for the raspberry. Depending on how sweet your apples are and how you like your applesauce, you may need to add a little sugar in with the jam. I used a combination of Macintosh and Red Delicious with about 1/3 cup jam, and thought it was fine without added sugar.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lbs apples, peeled cored and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 cinnamon stick
3/4 cup water
1/4-1/2 cup raspberry jam (or to taste)
sugar (to taste) (optional)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (optional, helps retain color)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine apples with 1 cinnamon stick, jam, and water; bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender (about 30 to 35 minutes). Add more water if necessary to prevent sticking.
  • Remove from heat; remove cinnamon stick.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, use a food processor to blend the oats and butter until they resemble coarse crumbs.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a pastry blender or your fingers to combine the oats and butter.
  • Be sure to press the oat mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan so that it forms a solid crust.
  • For a sweeter filling, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the applesauce.
  • If you don't have any fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries instead. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Serve the raspberry applesauce squares warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

These raspberry applesauce squares are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The oat crust is crispy and flavorful, the applesauce filling is sweet and tart, and the raspberries add a pop of color and flavor. Whether you're serving them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these squares are sure to be a hit.
