Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ⅓ cup butter, softened
• 1 cup rolled oats
• ¾ cup chopped pecans
• ¾ cup orange juice
• 5 cups fresh cranberries
• 4 Gala apples - peeled, cored, and chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Heat the orange juice, sugar, and about half the cranberries in a saucepan over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil; simmer until the cranberries pop, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix in the apples and the rest of the cranberries. Remove from heat, allow to cool for several minutes, then pour into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix together the pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and oats. Stir in the butter until thoroughly incorporated, then sprinkle the oat topping over the fruit mixture.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is bubbling and the oat topping has begun to brown, about 45 minutes.
