Spiced Cranberry Apple Raisin Compote Dessert


Your oven gets a real workout around the holidays and finding the room for an extra dish, or trying to time it so everything comes out when it should is tricky. This is one solution I came up with that might help. This one comes out of your slow cooker!

Traditional warm spices make this a real treat too. Serve topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Delish!

Ingredients:
6 granny smith apples, peeled and diced bite size
1 cup raisins
1 can whole cranberry sauce
1 tbsp corn starch
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp ground gingner
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 c orange juice
2 tbsp sugar or splenda

Directions:
In a bowl, break up the cranberry sauce so it is loose. Mix in raisins
Place apples in slowcooker, add cranberry raisin mixture and toss gently to blend ingredients
In the now empty bowl, add remaining ingredients. Wisk to blend
Pour spice & juice mixture over apple mixture
Set pot to cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3-4 hours (until everything is tender)
Keep your pot on warm until ready to serve

Serve in dessert cups topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, or serve it over ice cream while still warm

Optional:
Sprinkle chopped pecans on top!
