My Fave: Cranberry-Apple Casserole

Cranberry-Apple Casserole

Cranberry-Apple Yumminess!

Ingredients:

Base:

1 bag fresh cranberries

2-3 apples (I like granny smith, but use whichever you like)

1 Cup Sugar (I actually use a little less sugar than this b/c I soak in the cranberries in OJ, so use whichever method you like)

OJ

Topping:

1 and ¼ Cup raw oats

1 stick melted butter

½ to 1/3 cup brown sugar

½ to 1/3 cup chopped nuts (I like pecans)

• Soak cranberries in some orange juice the night before, and save about a tablespoon of the OJ before draining.
• Chop apples into bite-sized pieces (do not peel)
• When ready to bake, combine drained cranberries, tablespoon of leftover OJ, Apples and sugar in ziplock bag and shake together.
• Empty fruit mix into a baking dish, I recommend a square dish that may be a little deeper that a standard 9×13.
• To make the topping, mix all 4 topping ingredients in a ziplock bag and mix together. Empty the bag on top of the fruit mixture and spread it around.
• Bake the casserole for 45 minutes at 325 degrees!

This is great and easy recipe that is wonderful as a side dish during the holiday. It is also yummy on top of oatmeal for breakfast!
