Apple-Cranberry Crisp

Not only great on Thanksgiving, and Christmas, but any day and over ice cream for no special reason at all! 

Fruit Filling:
2 cups cranberries
3 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup sugar
***********************
Topping:
1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup nuts (I like pecans)
1 cup coconut
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup melted butter
***********************



Mix sliced apples and cranberries with the 1/2 cup sugar. Spread into 9X13 baking dish. 

Mix dry Topping ingredients, then add melted butter and mix well until butter has coated everything. Spread over the top of the fruit. 

Bake at 350*F for one hour, or adjust to whatever temperature your other meal items are baking at. Just change your cooking time to match. Lower temp, longer cook time, etc. 


Here's a cool gadget. My apple peeler...


Pretty cool... It peels and then slices.


See the blade cutting into slices?


Pull it off and it's all neat and tidy.


I slice it twice and it makes neat crescents, all even so they cook nicely.


It's a fun way to just serve slices to kids too. My kids like the peels too, one big long string.


I add it all to the baking dish. Here, I'm making just 1/2 batch.


I dump it all into a bowl to mix in the sugar.


The dry topping ingredients. Mix well.


Once it's mixed, add the butter.


I patted it on top of the fruit. It's heaped up, but the apples will collapse as they cook.

Baked and delicious!! Great as a side dish, or over ice cream!!

Mmmm. Can you almost smell it! Sweet and tart.
