Cranberry Casserole

== Description ==
This fresh, colorful casserole balances the tartness of cranberries with the sweetness of apples. It is great for dessert, and also works well as an alternative for breakfast and brunch.
== Ingredients ==
===For the fruit base===
* 3 cups Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples, peeled and chopped
* 2 cup raw cranberries
* 1 ½ tsp. lemon juice
* 1 ½ cup white sugar
=== Topping ===
* 1 ⅓ cup quick oats 
* 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
* 1 ⅓ cup brown sugar
* 1 stick butter, melted
== Directions ==
# Preheat oven to 325°F.
# In a shallow 2 qt. casserole, mix cranberries and chopped apples
# In a small bowl, mix lemon juice and white sugar.
# Sprinkle this mixture over the fruit until just moistened.
# In another bowl, mix together all ingredients for topping and sprinkle over the top of the fruit.
# Bake at 325°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Serve hot or cold. May be topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
== Notes ==
*When using honeycrisp apples, which are much sweeter than granny smith, reduce granulated sugar to taste.
*Any tart baking apple may be used
*Topping may be made by cutting softened butter into oats instead of melting it.
*For a slightly thicker consistency, more like pie-filling, add a tablespoon of cornstarch or flour with the lemon juice and sugar.
