My mom always gives us these magazines full of recipes and advice for raising your teenagers. I am so glad we have no human children. Anyway, Family Circle featured this incredibly good recipe that a reader sent in. I have made some small changes.
Our old pal CM was over a few weeks ago and we ate a lot of apple crisp, but this takes it one step further:
CRANBERRY APPLE BAKE by Suzan Hickey in Wichita
3 large chopped unpeeled apples
2 cups whole fresh cranberries
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup pecans (I used sunflower seeds and coconut instead-yum!)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1. grease 2 quart baking dish like pyrex, warm oven to 350
2. mix in a bowl the apples, cranberries, and sugar. dump into baking dish
3. melt butter in bowl in microwave (or however) stir in oats, brown sugar, pecans, flour--plus add stuff like cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, whatever spice you like (my suggestion)
4. dump oat mixture over the top of the apple mixture
5. bake at 350 35-45 minutes, until things look bubbly and crisp---add ice cream or yogurt when you eat! YUMMO! SO EASY!

cranberries! no, say it ain't so. anything but cranberries.
Perfect timing, as I have a bag of cranberries in the fridge and need to do something with them.
(ignoring Denis, whom I dreamt about last night, see below)
cm--if you liked that apple crisp, this guy has all the same plus cranberries. Fantastic!
What is it with messing with the classes of desert? That in the picture is a crisp. Crumble and crisp are two entirely, by the way. I have no idea what a "bake" is. And they are all different from grunts and brown betty, though to be fair a grunt is usually blueberry and I think a brown betty is usually apple. Crisps were likely eaten 4,000 years ago as it really only requires a pastoral culture for the butter, the rest being quite gatherable if you count honey.
It sure is a crisp, identical to my apple crisp recipe, withe cranberries added. Buffalo Bills leading Houston, too, in the 2nd quarter. TWO, I say, TWO 83 yard TD passes.
Well, then it is a crisp and not a bake. What the hell is a bake? I thought it was a casserole with peas.
Blueberry grunt, now that is good: http://www.billcasselman.com/

Whatever you want to call it, I'm a huge fan of anything where the directions are mix in pan, stick in oven.
CM! It is that easy! Just do it!
Alan, thanks for the info. You got it right: midwesterners toss things in a baking dish and call it a: BAKE. One remembers the discussion last spring of hot dishes, which is stuff dumped into a pan with cream of mushroom soup and baked. The terminology is unimportant. The taste is GOOD.
