Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or eight individual ramekins.
  2. Grate the zest from the orange, then juice the orange to yield approximately 1/4 to 1/3 cup of fresh juice.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sugar replacement, orange juice, and orange zest. Stir over medium heat until the sweetener dissolves.
  4. Add the cranberries to the saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries begin to pop and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Pour the hot cranberry mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Separate the biscuit dough rounds and arrange them on top of the cranberry filling, overlapping slightly if necessary to cover the surface.
  7. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.

Note

Storage: Cover leftovers tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Substitutions: If you do not have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries without thawing. For the biscuit dough, you may use homemade biscuit dough or refrigerated biscuit tubes.

Variations: Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cranberry mixture for a spiced flavor. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tip: Ensure the cranberry mixture is hot when placing the biscuits on top to help them rise evenly.
