Autumn Apple Crisp

Ingredients:

- 1/2 to 3/4 cup flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 5 tablespoons cold butter, cubed

- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped

- 3-4 green apples, peeled

- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (or fresh)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 tablespoon flour

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 (or 350 for a dark pan). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.

For the topping: combine 1/2 to 3/4 cup flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and butter in a bowl. Mix with a pastry blender to form moist clusters. Mix in pecans. Set aside.

Cut the apples into 1/2-inch chunks or slices. Put them in the prepared pan.

Mix together the cranberries, maple syrup, and 1/2 tablespoon flour. Scatter over the apples. Then sprinkle the flour-sugar topping over the cranberry mixture.

Bake for 25-30 minutes. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
