I've been looking for "this" recipe for years! Had it at my sister-in-laws house, but the recipe was lost. I highly recommend this dish. Several of my guests enjoyed this one during the main course and skipped dessert and went back for more! Great mix of sweet (apples and topping) and tart (cranberries). Not hard to make at all... managed to do this while preparing the turkey dinner and fixings. Serve it warm. It's awesome!

Ingredients
- Filling:
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup cranberry juice
- 1 (12-ounce) package fresh cranberries
- 2 pounds Gala apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (about 6 apples)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Cooking spray
- Topping:
- 1/2 cup regular oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 cup walnut or canola oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- To prepare filling, combine 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, cranberry juice, and fresh cranberries in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until cranberries pop, stirring occasionally (about 10 minutes). Set aside.
- Combine apples, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a large zip-top plastic bag. Seal; shake to coat.
- Place cranberry mixture in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray; top evenly with apple mixture.
- To prepare topping, place oats in a food processor, and pulse until coarsely chopped. Place oats in a large bowl. Lightly spoon 3/4 cup all-purpose flour and whole wheat pastry flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Add flours and next 5 ingredients (through cardamom) to the oats; stir to combine. Combine oil, honey, and egg yolks, stirring with a whisk. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Squeeze handfuls of topping to form large pieces. Crumble over filling. Bake at 375° for 40 minutes or until topping is golden and bubbly.
