CRANBERRY APPLE CASSEROLE

Cranberry Apple Casserole image

This dish can easily be prepared in advance and chilled in the refrigerator until ready to bake and serve. I came across a recipe from Cooking Light which I adjusted to include more common ingredients that I had in my pantry. It's a great dish for using up all those leftover dinner rolls and cranberry sauce (or cranberry relish) from your holiday dinner. The great thing about this dish is that it's rather verastile. It's not so sweet, so it can be served as a dinner side dish. Or, it can easily be served as a tart dessert because it is similiar in appearance and taste as a fruit cobbler. NOTE: For Step #6...The longer the dish sits, the thicker the dish will turn out after baking. Setting it aside for the minimum of 20 minutes will result in a cobbler-like consistency. But if you prepare this dish in advance (several hours to a day before baking) and letting it chill in the refrigerator will result in a quiche-like consistency.

Time 1h

Yield 1 casserole, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
3 medium apples, diced
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 cup brown sugar
6 crescent rolls (or any day-old leftover dinner rolls)
2 cups whole berry cranberry sauce
1 1/4 cups apple juice or 1 1/4 cups apple cider
1 1/4 cups milk (I use 1%)
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or 1/4 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°. LIghtly coat the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with a non-stick cooking spray.
Melt butter in a large skillet. Add the diced apples, cinnamon, cloves and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes or until the apples are tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
Slice crescent rolls in half lengthwise. Arrange crescent roll halves in the bottom of the baking dish, with the cut side up (crust side down).
Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the tops of the dinner rolls.
Spread the apple mixture evenly over the cranberry layer.
Add the apple cider, milk, lemon peel, nutmeg, and beaten eggs to a bowl, and blend well with a whisk. Pour the milky mixture over the top of the cranberry and apple layers. Sprinkle the nuts over the top. Let stand for at least 20 minutes, or cover the dish and place it in the refrigerator for several hours), to allow the milky mixture to soak into the rolls. JUST A QUICK NOTE ABOUT THIS STEP -- The longer the dish sits, the thicker the dish will be after baking. Setting it aside for at least 20 minutes will result in a cobbler-like consistency. But if you prepare this dish in advance (several hours to even a day ahead of time) and letting it chill in the refrigerator (covered) will result in a thicker, quiche-like consistency.
Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven, and let the dish stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
This can be served immediately as a side dish (while still hot), or the dish can be allowed to cool completely and served as a tart dessert topped with ice cream or whipping cream.

Tips:

Choose the right apples: For this casserole, it's best to use a firm, tart apple that holds its shape well when cooked. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
Don't overcook the apples: The apples should be tender but still retain some of their texture. Overcooking will make them mushy.
Use a quality cinnamon: Cinnamon is a key flavor in this casserole, so it's important to use a high-quality variety. Ceylon cinnamon has a more delicate flavor than Cassia cinnamon, which is the more common type found in grocery stores.
Don't skip the butter: The butter in the streusel topping adds richness and flavor. You can use salted or unsalted butter, but if you use unsalted butter, be sure to add a pinch of salt to the topping.
Serve warm: This casserole is best enjoyed warm from the oven. You can reheat it in the microwave or oven, but be careful not to overcook it.

Conclusion:

Apple a Day Casserole is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a fall or winter dessert. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your apples tart or sweet, with or without nuts, this casserole is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you have an abundance of apples, give this recipe a try.
