Healthy Pomegranate Apple Cobbler
Ingredients
- 1 cup of POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice
- 5 Granny Smith Apples; peeled and sliced
- 1 cup of honey
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp. corn starch
- 2 Tbsp. low-fat milk
- 1 cup of whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/3 cup butter; melted
- 1/4 cup sugar-free applesauce
- 1 egg; lightly beaten
- Frozen Vanilla Yogurt and Pomegranate Seeds; optional for the topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray a an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, bring the POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice to a boil for about 10-15 minutes until the juice reduces. It should reduce to about 3/4-1/2 cup.
- In the meantime, slice the apples and place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey,1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 cup oats over the apples. Stir with a wooden spoon until the apples are coated. Pour the reduced POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice in the bowl and fold in with the apples.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and cornstarch until combined. There should be minimal lumps. Pour into the apple bowl and continue to stir until all the ingredients are combined.
- For the topping: In a small bowl, stir melted butter, flour, baking powder, 1/4 cup oats, 1/2 cup honey, and applesauce until a light dough forms. It will be slightly sticky.
- Spoon the dough on the top of the apples and spread out with the spoon. This does not have to be perfect and you do not have to cover all of the apples with dough. Brush the top of the cobbler with an egg.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until the cobbler is golden brown. Scoop frozen yogurt or ice cream on top and sprinkle with fresh pomegranate seeds!
