Ingredients
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
5 cups unpeeled apple slices
1 cup fresh cranberries
2/3 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons margarine
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, fresh cranberries, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and grated lemon peel. Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly with the flour and sugar mixture. Spread this filling into an ungreased 8x8 inch baking dish or similar sized baking pan.
In another bowl, mix together the rolled oats, packed brown sugar, whole wheat flour, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Cut the margarine into small pieces and add to the oat mixture. Using a fork or your fingertips, work the margarine into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
Distribute the oat topping evenly over the fruit filling, spreading it gently but not pressing it down too firmly.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling bubbles slightly at the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the crisp to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving, which helps the filling set slightly while the topping stays crispy.
