Ingredients

• 3 medium crisp apples
• 2 cups seedless red grapes
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 3 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
• 1/4 cup almond butter
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/8 tsp pinch of salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup whipped cream or vanilla yogurt for serving

Instructions

1. 1Wash and core the apples, then dice them into bite-size pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
2. 2Halve the grapes and add them to the apples along with the lemon juice, honey, and cinnamon; toss gently until every piece is lightly coated and glossy.
3. 3Transfer the fruit mixture to a shallow 8-inch serving dish or pie plate and press it into an even layer.
4. 4In a separate bowl combine the oats, pecans, almond butter, maple syrup, salt, and vanilla.
5. 5Work the mixture with a fork or clean fingers until it forms damp, clumpy clusters that hold together when pressed.
6. 6Scatter the oat clusters evenly over the fruit, covering most of the surface but leaving a few fruit pockets visible for color.
7. 7Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes so the topping firms and the fruit juices mingle.
8. 8Just before serving, fluff the topping lightly with a fork if it has settled.
9. 9Scoop into bowls and finish each portion with a dollop of whipped cream or a spoonful of vanilla yogurt.
10. 10Serve immediately while the fruit is still cool and the clusters stay crunchy.
