Apple Crumble with a Difference!
As much as we all love the normal apple crumble, I decided to play around a bit, and see how it turned out…and this was the result..(not too shabby) 
Flaky Pie Pastry (see my recipe for the perfect pastry)
filling:
8 Granny smith apples
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, whole
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
2/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
topping:
2/3 cup rolled oats
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Pre-heat oven to 300 F. Peel and slice apples and toss with lemon juice. Add all other filling ingredients and mix. In a separate bowl, stir together all ingredients for topping. Put apple mixture in pie shell. Sprinkle topping on liberally. Dot top of pie with butter squares. Bake for 30 minutes to 45 minutes or until topping is golden and pie is bubbly.
NOTE: For a little added “zing” put a tot of brandy in the mix 
simply d’vine!
