Ingredients
-
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp each baking soda and cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Topping:
1 tbsp butter
2 tbsp packed brown sugar
4 apples, peeled and sliced
1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins
1 tbsp cornstarch
Preparation:
Topping: In skillet, melt butter over medium heat; stir in sugar. Add apples; cook, stirring, for 10 minutes. Add apple juice and cranberries; bring to boil. Dissolve cornstarch in 1 tbsp (15 mL) water; add to pan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until thickened. Set aside; keep warm.
Meanwhile, in bowl, whisk together all-purpose and whole wheat flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In separate bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk and butter; pour over flour mixture and stir just until combined.
