Hot Cranberry Bake, a reader recipe by Sue-Sue Harstern of Louisville, Kentucky, was originally published in our November 1992 issue, but it's so good that we think it deserves a second look. In this simple, crisp-like dessert, Harstern layers fresh apples and cranberries in a two-quart baking dish, then tops the fruit with fresh lemon juice and granulated sugar. No stirring necessary! A crumbly mixture of quick-cooking oats, chopped walnuts (toast them for even more flavor), brown sugar, and melted butter (or margarine) is sprinkled over the fruit. Then the dish is baked at 325˚F for one hour, or until the topping is crisp and golden and the fruit is tender and bubbly underneath. Harstern suggests serving Hot Cranberry Bake warm with vanilla ice cream and we couldn't agree more. The creamy, sweet ice cream cuts the tartness of the cranberries and dresses up this homey dessert. While we love the recipe as-is, we also like the flexibility of it. You can use any cooking apple-we prefer the flavor and texture of Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala, although a combination of any of these apples will also work well. You can easily swap out the walnuts for chopped pecans, if you prefer. You can also add spices to the oat topping for more flavor and warmth. We recommend adding up to 1/2 teaspoon of dried spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or apple pie spice. And if you're looking for a fantastic dessert that also happens to be dairy-free or vegan, you can make this dish with an equal amount of melted or liquid coconut oil in place of the butter. The coconut oil adds a subtle sweetness to the topping and browns just as nicely as butter.

Is this a cranberry casserole or dessert? Who cares because it's tasty. The filling is sweet and tart. While baking, the cranberries burst and the apples are perfectly soft. On top is a nutty and sweet oat topping that's similar to a crisp. Baked until golden brown, it's delicious. Serve this alone for a side dish or with a bit...

This dish can easily be prepared in advance and chilled in the refrigerator until ready to bake and serve. I came across a recipe from Cooking Light which I adjusted to include more common ingredients that I had in my pantry. It's a great dish for using up all those leftover dinner rolls and cranberry sauce (or cranberry relish) from your holiday dinner. The great thing about this dish is that it's rather verastile. It's not so sweet, so it can be served as a dinner side dish. Or, it can easily be served as a tart dessert because it is similiar in appearance and taste as a fruit cobbler. NOTE: For Step #6...The longer the dish sits, the thicker the dish will turn out after baking. Setting it aside for the minimum of 20 minutes will result in a cobbler-like consistency. But if you prepare this dish in advance (several hours to a day before baking) and letting it chill in the refrigerator will result in a quiche-like consistency.

My husband loves this one so much he asked a neighbor for it! We eat it at Thanksgiving. Although the original recipe calls it a casserole, it tastes more like a crisp to me. It's very sweet and desserty.

From an old issue of the Houston Chronicle. This is like a cobbler or crisp but with cranberries - yum!

That time of year that apples and cranberries start coming to mind. But, at our house those are things we love year round. Whipped cream or ice cream is an option for toppers, if you desire.

Apple cranberry crisp is a wonderful dessert for fall, when both cranberries and apples are in season. The fruits are quite compatible in flavor and color, and they help make any table look festive and inviting. -Martha Sue Stroud, Clarksville, Texas
