GRAPE/APPLE COBBLER

Have you ever thought about baking a grape? Me neither. Friend Carol hadn't either until she baked this Grape/Apple Cobbler for the Northland New Neighbors' Mexican Train group that she hosted recently. No one could believe it contained grapes. It was so delicious.

GRAPE/APPLE COBBLER

Topping:

1/4       cup flour
3/4      cup oats
1/3       cup chopped walnuts
3/4      cup (1-1/2 sticks) cold light butter cut into small pieces
6          tablespoons Splenda (or sugar)
6          tablespoons brown sugar blend

Filling:

6         cups thinly sliced, peeled apples (Carol used Granny Smiths)
2         cups red grapes (about 2/3 pound)
1/3      cup orange juice
1-1/2   tablespoons flour
2         tablespoons Splenda (or sugar)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 - inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

For the topping, combine the flour, oats, walnuts, and both sugars in a medium sized bowl.

Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until mixture resembles course crumbs. Set aside.

For the filling, combine all ingredients in a large bowl.

Pour the filling in the baking dish.

Spread topping evenly on top of apples.

Bake for 45 minutes.

Carol likes to serve it with ice cream.
