Baked Dutch Apple Pancake

1/3 cup syrup
½ cup sucanat
3 tbsp butter
2 apples, thinly sliced
1 egg
3/4 cup almond milk
1 tbsp butter, melted
1¼ cup whole wheat flour
4 tbsp sucanat
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

Preheat over to 400°.  Combine maple syrup, sugar and butter in a 9” round baking pan.  Put in the oven for about 5 minutes, until butter melts.  Remove and stir to dissolve the sugar.

Arrange apple slices, overlapping, over the syrup mixture in the pan.  Set aside.  Whisk together egg, milk, applesauce, and the 1 tablespoon melted butter.

In a medium bowl combine flour, the 4 tablespoons sucanat, baking powder and salt.  Pour in the milk mixture and stir until smooth.  Pour batter over the apples.

Bake for 20- 25 minutes.  Remove from oven and turn out onto a serving plate.

Mixed Fruit Crisp

A new twist on crisp! As you can see my family got to it before I could get a good picture! This is really good with the different fruits and the raisins add a good flavor and texture. TIPS: I alternated each fruit one-by-one (peel, core, slice an apple, put in pan; peel, pit, slice a peach, put in pan; peel, core, slice a pear, put in pan, etc) so that I didn't have to mix the fruit and risk it breaking and/or getting mushy. Then I just sprinkled the raisins over the fruit. It worked out nicely and tastes great!!

3 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
4 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced
3 fresh pears, peeled, cored and sliced
½ cup raisins
¼ cup water
½ cup rolled oats
¼ cup brown sugar
½ cup flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch salt
¼ cup butter


Preheat oven to 375°. Combine apples, peaches, pears, raisins and water in a 9”x13” baking pan.

In small bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over fruit.

Bake for 35-45 minutes or until topping starts to brown. Serve warm.
