Preserving a Legacy of Family, Faith, and Food – November 1 – December 31

Shared with us by Lynn Gipson

3 cups cranberries

3 cups chopped Granny Smith Green apples

1 ½ cups of sugar

1 stick melted margarine

1 ½ oatmeal

½ cup brown sugar

1/3 cup flour

1/3 cup nuts

Mix cranberries, apples, and white sugar.  Place in a 9×11 baking dish. Stir rest of ingredients and spread on top.  Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour. You may want to decrease the amount of cranberries a little as they tend to be bitter, and don’t cheat on the sugar with this recipe.  This looks really pretty in a glass baking dish!
