    List of Ingredients

    nonstick cooking spray
    1 cup granulated sugar divided
    3 tablespoons cornstarch
    12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
    3 Mcintosh apples peeled, cored -cut into 1/2-inch chunks
    1/2 cup apple juice
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
    1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
    6 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar
    6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons coarsely chopped pecans
    3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into pieces

    Recipe

    Preheat oven to 375¼F. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray. In small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and cornstarch. In medium saucepan, stir together cranberries and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, over medium heat, about 5 minutes, until sugar dissolves and berries begin to pop. Stir in cornstarch mixture, bring to boil and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute, until mixture is slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in apples, apple juice, vanilla, lemon zest and pepper. Spoon apple mixture into prepared pie plate.

    In medium bowl, stir together oats, brown sugar, flour and pecans. With pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle crumbs over apple mixture. Place pie plate on baking sheet, and bake about 25 minutes, until filling is bubbly and topping is golden brown. Note: Walnuts or hazelnuts may be substituted for the pecans. This dessert may be easily prepared earlier in the day and refrigerated. To serve, simply bring to room temperature, or reheat at low temperature in a conventional oven or in the microwave at half power, rotating dish occasionally. Makes 8 servings.
