Recipe: Summer fruit gratin

Dietitian's tip: Although this dessert uses a mix of summer stone fruits, it can be easily adapted. In early summer, combine raspberries and apricots. In the fall, try a combination of apples and cranberries.

   

Ingredients

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly coat a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.

In a bowl, combine the cherries and stone fruits. Sprinkle with the flour and sugar and toss gently to mix.

To make the topping, in another bowl, combine the oats, almonds, flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Whisk to blend. Stir in the oil and honey and mix until well blended.

Spread the fruit mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the oat-almond mixture evenly over the fruit. Bake until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is lightly browned, about 45 to 55 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
