This bake is a result of a conversation between my friend Gitty P. and I. Gitty was looking for a little more pizzazz than the typical apple-cranberry crisp. We tossed around a few ideas, and the Apple Strawberry Cranberry Bake was born. It was such a hit with our families that it became not only a classic but also my daughter Hadassah’s all-time favorite.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

2. In a large bowl, mash strawberries with a fork. Add jellied cranberry sauce, mash, and combine. Add diced apples and toss until well coated. Pour mixture into a greased oven-to-tableware bowl.

3. In a medium-sized bowl combine all cake topping ingredients.Mix well by hand and pour evenly over the apple mixture. Bake for one hour.

Notes:

This is meant to be served in its dish and scooped out with a serving spoon as opposed to neat slices.
