Per Nichole’s Request … Cranberry Apple Casserole (gluten free!)

Posted on by

You will need:

  • 3 C chopped apples (Winesap, Granny Smith, Fuji…)
  • 2 C whole fresh (frozen) cranberries
  • 2 C sugar
  • 2 T orange juice
  • 1 t cinnamon

    You can cook this one of two ways. You can cook it in a slow cooker on low for 5 to 6 hours, or you can cook it as a traditional casserole. For a traditional casserole, see the topping and baking instructions below. If you choose to cook it in a slow cooker, you can double the batch and “can it” if you are ambitious. Mmmmm …. tasty. I suppose you could freeze it too, I haven’t tried that.

    For Topping:

  • 1 stick melted butter
  • 1/2 C brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 C Corn Flake Crumbs
  • 1/2 C pecans (chopped)

    Baking Instructions: Mix the apples, cranberries, white sugar, orange juice and cinnamon together and place in a buttered 9 * 13 casserole dish. Mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, corn flake crumbs and pecans. Stir and pour over the top of the apple/cranberry mixture. Cover with foil. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 – 2 hours. You want the apples to be tender, and some cook faster than others. Uncover the casserole for the last 10 – 15 minutes so the crust can get “crusty”. Enjoy!!
