Swedish Apple-Cranberry Pie

Cynthia Harriman, Oldways and the Whole Grains Council

This pie has no crust, so it’s quick and healthy. Mix it by hand with a large spoon, so the apples don’t get crushed.

ingredients

1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (regular or pastry)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp vanilla
3 small or 2 large apples, cored & chopped but not peeled
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans are good)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 10" pie pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, beat egg thoroughly with a fork, until it forms a ribbon.

Add everything else except apples and nuts, and mix thoroughly with a large spoon.

Add apples and nuts, and mix as well as you can with a large spoon. You'll wonder if you've done something wrong, as it's a very lumpy mix—not even qualifying for the word "batter." But soldier on, and mix as best you can. After 4-5 minutes of elbow grease, suddenly it all hangs together.

Toss it all in the pie plate and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.

Serve warm or cool, either plain or with a dollop of ice cream or vanilla yogurt.
