Ingredients 

1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces 

2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar 

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

2 Pillsbury™ Toaster Strudel™ frozen apple pastries 

1/4 cup Cascadian Farm™ organic oats & honey granola 

Steps 

• 1In small microwavable bowl, toss apples, brown sugar and cinnamon. Microwave mixture uncovered on High 2 to 3 minutes, stirring halfway through cook time, until apples are soft. Using potholders, carefully remove bowl from microwave. 

• 2Meanwhile, toast pastries as directed on package, reserving icing packets. With slotted spoon, scoop apple pieces from liquid, and divide between tops of pastries. Sprinkle granola on top; drizzle with icing. Serve immediately. 

May serve with a dollop of whipped cream for a special touch (or use the spray can variety). 

Add a tablespoon or two of dried cranberries to the apple mixture before cooking for a fun, tasty twist. 

Apples are best peeled with an apple peeler, but a vegetable peeler or paring knife will also work. Apples can also be peeled and chopped the night before and stored in the refrigerator covered in water. When ready to make, drain water from apples. 

Mix together cabbage, carrots, and dressing. Stir until completely blended. Add pineapples, apples, and raisin. Stir and refrigerate for 1 hour. Stir again before serving.
