ingredients
- 6 large granny smith apples (peeled, cored and sliced)
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 cup butter, melted (equals 1 stick)
- 1⁄2 cup dried cranberries
- 1⁄2 cup pecans, chopped (optional, may substitute walnuts)
directions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Lightly grease a 9x13 baking pan. (If you have one slightly larger, I would use it, just to ensure that it doesn't bubble over.)
- Peel and slice the apples, and layer them into the baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, mix the white sugar, the tablespoon of flour, and the cinnamon together. Sprinkle evenly over the apples.
- Pour the water evenly over all.
- In the same (now empty) bowl, combine the oats, cranberries, nuts, cup of flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda together. (The packed brown sugar should be kind of lumpy - don't break it up too much.)
- Mix in the melted butter and toss until you have delicious sugary crumbles. Sprinkle evenly over apple mix.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- Serve warm with ice cream.

I'm an artist and I work from home, so I love to have the smell of something delicious cooking in the background while I'm working. Cooking is the way that I show love to my family and friends -- I get that from my Southern grandma, who always made amazing meals for our large extended family. Since I learned to cook from her, I always end up making meals that could feed a small army. Down home, old fashioned, comfort foods that make lots of leftovers are my specialty.
I love to eat any kind of ethnic food but I'm just learning to cook from different cultures. My favorite place in the world is New Orleans, so I love to make Cajun and Creole food. I call myself the Faux Chef because I don't have the talent to be a chef but I try really hard. My problem is, I never measure anything (thanks, Grandma!) which makes me TERRIBLE at baking.
