Apple-Cranberry Crisp

This apple-cranberry crisp recipe comes from my grandma, although I made it with my mom.  The tart cranberries really liven up the apples and make this a special treat.  I love crispy oat toppings like the one on this crisp...they're just so crunchy and tasty! This recipe is also easy to put together if you have the ingredients on hand. 

I'm back in Ohio visiting my parents for a few more days, and then I'll be back in California for the start of the semester.  Back in CA, I'm looking forward to taking a marmalade class at a local foods place, but I will miss cooking with my mom!
