Serves 4
Ready in 55 minutes

1 1/2 lb. apples (about 3 medium), peeled and cored
1/2 cup fresh or frozen (un-thawed) cranberries, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Coarse salt
4 Tbsp. (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for dish
1/2 cup pecan halves (2 oz.) coarsely chopped
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats (not quick cooking)
3 Tbsp. packed light brown sugar

Preheat oven to 425 F. Quarter apples lengthwise, then thinly slice. Toss in a large bowl with cranberries, granulated sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.
Butter an 8-inch square glass or ceramic baking dish. Mix pecans, flour, oats, brown sugar and a pinch of salt in a bowl until combined. Work in butter with your fingertips until topping is crumbly, with pea size chunks.
Spread apple mixture in prepared dish; sprinkle with topping. Bake until filling is bubbling and topping is golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
