Apple-cranberry Crisp

Fall is the best time of year for baking. Fall means I haven't over-done it yet with the holiday baking...and it's finally cool enough to have the oven on. And there are apples! And cranberries! And lots of delicious sweets.

The recipe is easy enough, and doesn't require any precise measuring.

I slice up a few apples(4 or 5), toss them in a splash or two of lemon juice and sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar. Throw in a few fresh (or frozen) cranberries (1/2 cup). In a separate bowl, combine equal parts flour and brown sugar (1/4 cup each). Cut in a few pats of butter (3 Tbsp.) until crumbly. Sprinkle over the apples in a baking dish. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes (or until topping is golden brown).
