This is a quick, easy and healthy dessert (or breakfast!). For an even healthier variation, top with a little vanilla yogurt
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 45 min
Ingredients:
10 oz fresh or frozen blueberries
1 lb of fresh or frozen peach slices
1/4 cup apple juice
Topping:
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup oats (I use the steel cut, not instant... although I think instant works just fine
1 cup pitted dates
2 TBS apple juice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Place blueberries in the bottom of a square 8 inch baking pan. If you are using frozen, make sure they are completely thawed and drained of excess water. Place peach slices on top of blueberries (again, if frozen, make sure they are also thawed and drained of excess water). Drizzle 1/4 apple joice over the fruit.
Place dates, oats, almonds and cinnamon in a food processor. Blend. After running the processor for a minute and things seem blended, add the apple juice and mix well.
Place the granola mixture evenly over peaches and blueberries, and bake uncovered for appr 45 minutes. Serve warm or cold
Tip: Mke sure the topping is well ground and mixed while still ending with a coarse texture. It will have a tendency to be in clumps after processing. When you place it over the fruit mixture, crumple it with you hands into an even layer, otherwise it will be in big clumps and will not look or taste as good :)
