This seasonal dessert doesn't take a lot of work. Prepare the topping earlier in the day, and refrigerate in a zip-top plastic bag.

I made this recipe today as directed with all ingredients. The filling is really good, with the fresh cranberries,but the topping I didn't like that much. It doesn't stay together, it stays mostly as a crumb. Maybe it needs more butter. But, I didn't use it. I wanted to do everything as stated in the recipe.Maybe next time. I'd make it again for sure!

I decided to try this recipe because I had most of the ingredients on hand. I would recommend this recipe as it's easy to make and can be made a day in advance. I did substitute some of the ingredients. I used dried cranberries, regular white flour and walnuts instead. I'd definitely make this recipe again. :o)
