Servings: 12 Ingredients:

Filling

6 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries,roughly chopped
11/2 cups white sugar
1/3 cup quick-cooking tapioca

Topping

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup unsalted butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine apples, cranberries, and sugar.
Cover, and set aside for about 20 minutes.
Mix in tapioca, and set aside for 15 to 20 minutes, until tapioca has absorbed fruit juice.
Spread mixture into a 9 by 13 inch pan.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and butter.
Work mixture with fingertips until crumbly. (Tip: easier if the butter is frozen hard enough to grate with a grater).
Spread mixture over the apple-cranberry filling.
Bake 45 to 60 minutes on the bottom rack of the preheated oven, or until apples are tender when tested with a wooden pick.
