Cranberry-Apple Delight

Cranberry-Apple Delight

 

This recipe comes from the November/December 2012 Mississippi Magazine and I would have called it a "Crisp" instead of a "Delight", but I'll stay true to the original title!

 

My mom has a wonderful Apple Crisp recipe, but I was intrigued by this one because it mixes apple and cranberry, which I thought would be great for a winter baby shower/wine club gathering.

 

You'll notice there are no cranberries.  Epic fail!  I couldn't find raw cranberries anywhere in January!

So I replaced them with more apples - I vow to try this recipe with the cranberries next Fall.

 

This is a quick recipe and great for a crowd.

 

I cut up 10 cups of tart green apples (normally would be 6 c apples and 4 c raw cranberries), tossed them with lemon juice and sugar and place them in a sprayed 9x13 baking dish.

 

 

Then I mixed up the topping by combining melted butter, uncooked oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and chopped pecans.

I crumbled this on top of the apples, and baked for 50 minutes at 350*.

 

It was delicious and didn't last long served hot out of the oven with vanilla ice cream!
