Recipe #16 - Apple Cranberry Crisp

How to prepare cranberries:

1 package fresh cranberries
1 cup white sugar
1 cup water

In a medium size saucepan bring 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup of water to a boil. Over medium heat, add cranberries and stir until the cranberries start to pop. Turn the heat down and cook for about 10 minutes. Cool and serve


To make Apple Cranberry Crisp

3 or 4 peeled and cored large apples (Golden delicious)
1 cup cranberry sauce
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup Ogilvie quick oats
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup soft butter or becel
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt

In an 8 in square pan, coat the bottom and sides with becel. Place apple slices on the bottom and cover with cranberry sauce. In a bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Mix with becel or butter to make a crumbly mixture. Cover the fruit and bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes or until bubbly. Serve warm or cold.

This recipe is a variation taken from the Five Roses - A guide to good cooking. On page 93 you will find Cherry Oatmeal Crisp but one day I had leftover cranberries I wanted to use up, so I substituted and created this combination.
