    List of Ingredients




    3 lrg Jonagold or Braeburn apples, unpeeled, cored, sliced
    1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries (see note)
        Juice of 1/2 lemon (2 tablespoons)
    1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar (divided)
    1 1/2 tsp ground ginger (divided)
    1/4 tsp salt, or to taste
    1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal, uncooked
    1/2 cup lightly toasted, chopped pecans (see note)
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    6 tbl unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (see note)
        Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

    Recipe



    * Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place apple slices and cranberries in 9 inch pie plate or casserole. Add lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of the brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of the ground ginger and salt; toss to combine. Pat fruit to compress in plate; flatten top evenly.

    * Combine oatmeal, nuts, flour, remaining brown sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon ginger in medium bowl. Cut in butter using pastry blender, 2 knives or fingers to distribute butter evenly. Sprinkle topping evenly over fruit; press down lightly.

    * Bake until topping is golden and fruit is soft when pierced with sharp knife, 50 to 60 minutes. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
    ----------------
    * Note: Dried cranberries or tart cherries can be substituted for fresh.

    * Rehydrate in very hot water about 30 minutes. Drain well.

    * Note: To toast nuts, heat in a dry skillet over medium heat until they start to brown. Stir occasionally. Be careful not to scorch them.

    * Note: Use real butter or stick margarine. Do not substitute reduced-fat spreads; their higher water content often yields less-satisfactory results.
