Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
I'm watching a colorful sunset and relaxing before we go to our next Thanksgiving meal. The recipes I wanted to create worked. Which is why I didn't post yesterday. Not that they worked but because I was still doing research. Or, maybe experimentation would be a better description.
I'm going to share them with you.
The first one is the:
Cranberry Citrus Apple Bake
1 1/2 Cup Dried Cranberries (you could probably use fresh with no problem)
1 Cup Craisins
5 Small Oranges (Like Clementines or Mandarins) or 2-3 larger ones.
3 TBSP Maple Syrup
3/4 Cup Chopped Pecans
6 Medium-sized Apples
1 Cup of Oatmeal
1/3 Cup Brown Sugar
Spray 9 x 13 pan. Preheat oven to 350 when ready to bake.
Mix the cranberries, craisins, Pecans and 2 TBSP of the maple syrup together. Squeeze all the oranges over the mixture, scrape out any extra pulp you want. Set aside to let the flavors marry.
Slice the apples into thin slices, you don't need to peel them. Lay the slices in the 9 x 13. Drizzle the apple slices with the remaining maple syrup, sprinkle brown sugar over that and follow with the oatmeal. Cover this with the cranberry mixture.
Bake at 350 for 45-minutes to an hour. Serves 20-24.
If you are doing Black Friday, be careful out there!!!!!
