Apple-Cranberry Dessert - 2005
​​​​​Recipe courtesy of Lee Rodriguez

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 12 oz. pkgs  cranberries -- fresh or frozen
  • 2 cups cooking apples -- peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons  butter -- cut up
  • 1 ¼ cups  sugar
  • ¾ cup  walnuts or pecan -- chopped
  • 2 eggs -- slightly beaten
  • ¾ cup  butter -- melted
  • 1 cup  sugar
  • ¾ cup  all-purpose flour
  • vanilla ice cream

PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease bottom of 9x13x2 baking pan. Toss the cranberries and apples together in the baking pan. Dot cranberry mixture with the 2 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle evenly with the 1 1/4 cups sugar and chopped nuts.

In medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, the 3/4 cup melted butter, the 1 cup sugar, and flour until well combined. Pour evenly over the top of cranberry mixture. 

Bake, uncovered, for 60 to 75 mins, or until top is golden brown. Cool for about 30 mins. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes: Can substitute two 16 oz. packages of frozen unsweetened pitted tart red cherries in place of cranberries.

If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw before tossing with apples. If using frozen cherries, let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before tossing with apples.
