Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. Peel, core, and dice the cooking apples until you have approximately 4 3/4 cups.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, raw sugar, and about 2 tablespoons of water.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are slightly softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Stir in the fresh cranberries and cook for an additional minute until they begin to pop.
  6. Remove the fruit mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.
  7. In a small skillet, melt the butter or margarine over low heat.
  8. Add the sunflower seeds and fry gently for a few minutes until toasted and fragrant.
  9. In a large bowl, mix together the whole-wheat flour, oatmeal, and remaining raw sugar.
  10. Pour the melted butter and sunflower seed mixture into the dry ingredients.
  11. Stir or use your hands to combine everything until a loose, crumbly topping forms.
  12. Transfer the warm fruit mixture into a large, shallow ovenproof baking dish.
  13. Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the fruit.
  14. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
  15. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving with yogurt or ice cream.
