STIR FRIED APPLES & CRANBERRIES



Stir Fried Apples & Cranberries image

I am soooo having a blast with making up new recipes. I just made an awesome one this afternoon. I used Arrowroot in this. You can find it in the natural section most likely and it works like cornstarch as a thickener but healthier for you than cornstarch. I am going to try making a pie with this mixture and give it a pecan pie shell with crushed pecans that have been browned in butter and cinnamon. I think it will come out nice.

Categories     Dessert

Time 16m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium apple
1 -1 1/2 cup cranberries
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon arrowroot
4 teaspoons stevia powder
2 tablespoons butter (I used Goat Butter but you can use regular)

Steps:

  • I took one med. size green apple, peeled and cored it. Then I chopped it into even pieces about 1/3 of an inch thick. You don't want them too thick or they won't cook nicely.
  • Then rinse frozen cranberries in warm water, this thaws them a little. Place apples and cranberries in a big bowl. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl or dish mix cinnamon, nutmeg, arrowroot powder, and Stevia. Add mixture to apples and cranberries and toss to coat well. Scrape the bottom of the bowl as you mix; the arrowroot may cause the mix to stick to the bottom of the bowl.
  • In a non-stick skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Add apple/cranberry mixture to the pan. Gently stirring frequently. Cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low or low and cover.
  • Cook additional 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender. Don't over cook and don't cook too hot or your cranberries will be really mushy (they should be soft with skins broken).
  • Serve warm or chilled. You can serve as is or with sweet coconut cream and or crushed pecans.

Time 3h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Sugar In The Raw®
1 tablespoon Stevia In The Raw®
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
Ice water
3 large Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 ½ cups raw cranberries
⅓ cup Sugar In The Raw®
⅓ cup Stevia In The Raw®
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon sea salt
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
⅓ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
3 tablespoons Sugar In The Raw®
2 tablespoons Stevia In The Raw®
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Add butter and rub into flour with your fingers until all pieces are flattened and broken up into pieces ranging from pea-sized to nickel-sized. Add ice water gradually, stirring frequently, until mixture is moistened enough to hold together when pressed in your hand; it should not be sticky or crumbly and dry.

  • On a lightly floured countertop, roll out dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into bottom of dish. Trim all but a 1-inch overhang of dough, then fold overhang back underneath itself so a thick rim of dough rests on the rim of the pie dish.

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

  • In a medium bowl, stir to combine 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, oats, sugar, stevia, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Rub in butter until completely incorporated and mixture is crumbly.
  • Sprinkle streusel over pie. Place pie dish on a large baking sheet and brush crust rim with beaten egg. Bake until browned and bubbling, about 1 hour.
