Stovetop Apple-Cranberry Crumble
"Baking an apple pie takes some planning and time, about an hour for the baking alone. Express Bakers need the great apple flavor of a pie, but in less than half the time. This crumble doesn’t disappoint. For enhanced color and taste, I’ve added a few cranberries (another classic American ingredient) to the mix. Heating the crumble topping in a skillet by itself releases the natural earthy flavors of the granola. A drizzle of maple syrup and a dash of cinnamon are all that are needed before the topping is ready to sprinkle over the cooked apples and cranberries. While fresh cranberries are available during the winter months, they’re scarce in spring and summer. So plan ahead and buy a few extra bags to tuck away in the freezer. They freeze beautifully, so the crumble can be enjoyed out of season...."
