It may be work, but the rewarding part of this recipe is you can use small apples or apples you have cut the worm holes out. You can use apples that may otherwise go to waste. I cut open a box of apples planning to make applesauce and ended up with enough apples for this recipe. There’s barely any flour in this recipe, and I decided to use gluten free, so I could share with family. We enjoyed ours with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Apples, 4 cups, peeled, cored and chopped

Egg, 1

Dried cranberries, ½ cup

Gluten free flour, 2 tablespoons

Salt, 1/8 teaspoon

Baking powder, 1 ¼ teaspoon

Vanilla, 1 teaspoon

Chopped nuts, pecans or walnuts, ¼ cup

Butter, to cover baking dish

Sugar, ¾ cup

Cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon

Preparation

Combine the egg with sugar and mix until smooth. In separate bowl, mix the flour, salt and baking powder. Combine the egg/sugar mixture with the flour mixture. Mix well. Add the apples, cranberries and vanilla. Mix to coat the apple chunks. Coat a shallow pie dish or similar dish, with butter. Add the mixture. Pat down, evenly. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and cinnamon. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.
