Ease: super quick Type: breakfast, snack, dessert, brunch Prep Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 1 hour Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 c apple juice
1 1/2 c water
1 1/2 c whole wheat couscous

Apple Compote:
10 sweet apples
2 T cinnamon
1/2 c raisins
1/2 c water
1/2 T arrowroot powder

Steps

• Preheat oven to 375° F.
• Wash, core and cut apples into cubes. Do not peel. Toss apples with cinnamon, raisins, water and arrowroot and place in a baking dish.
• Bake until apples are tender, about 45 minutes - 1 hour, stirring once.
• Meanwhile, bring apple juice and water to a boil. (You can do this in a large bowl in the microwave.) Remove juice from the heat and stir in the couscous. Cover and let stand until all of the juice is absorbed and couscous is fluffy, about 15 minutes. Press into an 8"x8" baking pan and chill.
• Serve couscous smothered in apple compote. This dish can be served warm, cold or at room temperature.
