Easy One Pan Cranberry, Apple and Carrot Dessert

This was great because I made it all in one large frying pan ( no frying) and it turned out like a cobbler! My version is a little tart (like me), but you can add sugar.

Ingredients:

3 apples *I used Macintosh* cored and sliced thick
2 cups cranberries or 1 package frozen cranberries
1 tsp lemon juice
2 carrots diced *carrots are optional ( I liked the added colour)
pinch Sea Salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c. pumpkin seeds
1/2 c blanched almonds or slivered almonds
3 tbsp maple syrup
1 cup granola - low sugar/sodium

How I did it:

Over low setting put cranberries and apples in pan. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
Add 2 tbsp water to the pan. Cover and stir every 5 minutes until fruit starts to soften. Add carrots, salt, vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin seeds and almonds.
Stir and cover.
When the fruit has become soft toss granola into mixture along with maple syrup. Cover and let sit 15 minutes and serve immediately.
Or, if you are making this ahead of time remove the covered pan from the stove and let sit. Reheat later.

By letting the mixture sit it thickens and becomes like a cobbler. Reheats well.

 Enjoy!
