  • 3/4  cup  granulated sugar
  • 1/4  cup  dried cranberries, chopped
  • 1/4  cup  dried cherries, chopped

Combine almonds and the next 7 ingredients (through extract) in a medium bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle oat mixture evenly over cranberry mixture. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes or until filling is bubbly and topping is golden.

i couldn't find fresh or frozen cranberries so i bought two cans of cranberry sauce made with whole cranberries. i did the best i could to fish out the cranberries and left out any extra sugar. it was still fantastic! i mixed up the fruit and the topping separately the night before and tossed the crumble on top right before baking. served a la mode with vanilla ice cream. 6 of us finished it off within 15 minutes of when it came out of the oven.08/03/09

This dessert has become a Thanksgiving tradition but it is so good and easy that it shows up on an ordinary weeknight! Don't change a thing on this one.02/17/08
