Ingredients

• 3 cups apples chopped
• 2 cups fresh cranberries
• 2 tbsp flour (all purpose)
• 1 cup sugar

Topping

• 3 packages instant oatmeal (cinnamon, apple spice, etc.)
• 3/4 cup chopped pecans

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup melted butter

Instructions

Notes

This may be made with non-packaged oatmeal instead. If so, use ¾ cup instant oatmeal + 1 tsp cinnamon.

It’s possible to substitute blueberries for cranberries. If so, reduce sugar a little.

If you leave out the nuts, you may need to reduce the amount of butter.

Consider garnishing with pecans and cranberries.
