------------------------------FOR THE TOPPING------------------------------

1/4 c Old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 c Firmly packed dark brown
-sugar
2 tb Finely chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 375. Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with vegetable cooking
spray.

Prepare topping: In a small bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar,
walnuts, ginger, and nutmeg. Mix well.

Using a fork or pastry blender, cut margarine and honey into the flour
mixture until coarse crumbs form. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the apples, cranberries, granulated sugar, orange
peel, and ginger; toss to combine. Spoon apple mixture into prepared dish.
Sprinkle topping evenly over filling.

Bake crisp until topping is golden and filling bubbles (aprox 1 hour).
Place dish on wire rack and cool slightly. Serve immediately.
I like to serve it with frozen vanilla yogurt; or use a wide mouthed wine
glass and layer the crisp with the frozen yogurt= a parfait. Oh! FRENCH
vanilla= good stuff!!
