This is a family favorite that's perfect for cozy winter nights. The golden brown crust bakes in the oven, and the apple and cranberry filling cookings in the microwave, then is spooned into the crust. Beki Kosydar-Krantz of Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania Ingredients:
3/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs |
2 egg whites |
3/4 cup 1% milk |
1 cup cold orange juice |
1 package (.8 ounce) sugar-free cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix |
3/4 teaspoon apple pie spice |
6 large peeled tart apples, sliced |
1/2 cup dried cranberries |
1/4 cup chopped walnuts |
1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Combine the eggs, egg whites and milk; whisk into the dry ingredients just until blended. Pour into a 10-in. ovenproof skillet coated with butter-flavored cooking spray.
