  • Add pecans and whirl until they are coarsely chopped and blended in.

Filling:

  • Peel and core apples and cut into thin slices. Combine in casserole dish with cranberries.
  • Drizzle Grand Marnier over apple mixture.
  • In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Sprinkle over apple mixture in casserole and toss to combine evenly.

  • Bake at 350 degrees F. for 50 to 55 minutes, until apples are tender.

Notes

The Grand Marnier adds a special taste to this dessert, but if you don't have any on hand you can substitute orange juice (and add a little grated orange rind).
Make this gluten-free by using gluten-free rolled oats, and substitute a gluten-free all purpose flour blend for the regular flour.
