Cranberry Apple Pumpkin Bake – Blogger Secret Ingredient

categories: blogger secret ingredient, dinner, recipes, vegetarian

This week’s Blogger Secret Ingredient is hosted by The Fitnessista and she chose cranberries!  I love cranberries.  Back in high school my favorite band was the Cranberries, and I loved to snack on Craisins – so much so that my screenname still has the word cranberry in it.  If you ever want to chat, ask me what it is icon smile Cranberry Apple Pumpkin Bake Blogger Secret Ingredient   This recipe is full of fall flavours and I really enjoyed it.

Cranberry Apple Pumpkin Bake

Ingredients

  • 1 apple, chopped
  • 1.25 cups of cranberries (I used frozen)
  • about 3 cups of chopped pumpkin
  • 3/4 cup applesauce
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425F.
  2. Mix all the ingredients except the cheddar together in a bowl.
  3. Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and pour in the mix.  Top with the shredded cheddar.
  4. Bake for 35-40 minutes.  ENJOY!  I think another great addition would be some chopped nuts on the top.  Try it out and let me know.

I had mine with delicious baked tofu:

    Mmm that sounds really great. Interesting combo of flavours. The sweet and savoury thing going on there must be delish :)

    That looks tasty. The cheddar on top reminds me of how some people I know put cheddar on their apple pie. It’s one of those things that sounds weird at first, but some how the savory/sweet combo just works.
