"I devised this recipe when I was trying to use up that leftover homemade cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving! You could probably also use canned whole cranberry sauce for this recipe."

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. Spread the sliced apples evenly in the baking dish. Spoon the whole berry cranberry sauce over the apples and spread it to cover.

  3. In a bowl, stir together the whole wheat pastry flour, rolled oats, packed brown sugar and ground cinnamon.

  4. Pour the melted butter over the dry mixture and stir with a fork until evenly moistened and crumbly.

  5. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the cranberry-apple layer.

  6. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a knife.

  7. Let the crisp cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.
