Crimson Cranberry/Apple Crisp

- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 3 cups, sliced, peeled cooking apples
- 2 cups cranberries
- 1/2 cup quick-cooking or regular rolled oats
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp chopped nuts (optional)

In a small mixing bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Place the apples and cranberries in an ungreased 1 1/2 quart casserole. Sprinkle sugar-cinnamon mixture over fruit. Toss gently to coat. Bake uncovered in a 375 oven for 25 min.

For topping, in a small mixing bowl combine oats, brownsugar, flour, and nutmeg. With a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in nuts, if you like. Sprinkle topping over partially cooked fruit mixture.

Return to oven and bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until fruit is tender and topping is golden. Cool slightly.
