Servings: 8
Start to finish: 1 hour 30 minutes
Topping:
3/4 cup (3 3/4 ounces) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed (3 1/2 ounces) light brown sugar
1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces and chilled
3/4 cup (2 1/4 ounces) old-fashioned rolled oats
Filling:
1 pound (4 cups) fresh or frozen cranberries
1 1/4 cups (8 3/4 ounces) granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
2 1/2 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 1/2 pounds Braeburn apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
3 tablespoons Minute Tapioca
For the topping: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 F. Pulse flour, sugars, cinnamon, and butter in food processor until mixture has texture of coarse crumbs (some pea-size pieces of butter will remain), about 12 pulses. Transfer to medium bowl, stir in oats, and use fingers to pinch topping into peanut-sized clumps. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
For the filling: Bring cranberries, 3/4 cup sugar, and water to simmer in Dutch oven over medium-high heat and cook until cranberries are completely softened and mixture is jam-like, about 10 minutes; transfer to bowl. Cook apples, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and dried cranberries in now-empty Dutch oven over medium-high heat until apples begin to release their juices, about 5 minutes. Off heat, stir in cranberry mixture and tapioca.
Transfer filling to 13-by 9-inch baking dish set on rimmed baking sheet. Smooth surface evenly with spatula and scatter topping evenly over filling. Bake until juices are bubbling and topping is deep golden brown, about 30 minutes. (If topping is browning too quickly, loosely cover with piece of aluminum foil.) Let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
