A chunky, nutty streusel meets tart apple filling in this fruit crisp. The key to the streusel topping is pinching large lumps together with your fingers.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

3/4 cup cold butter, cut into pieces

1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans

1/2 cup slivered almonds

1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

8 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (about 9 cups)

1 (12-ounce) container cranberry-orange crushed fruit (we tested with ocean spray)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

vanilla ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream (optional)

Directions:

1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture is the size of peas. Stir in pecans, almonds, and walnuts; pinch mixture with fingers to form large lumps of streusel.
2. Stir together apple and next 5 ingredients. Spoon filling into a greased 13 x 9 baking dish. Sprinkle streusel topping evenly over filling.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour or until apples are tender and topping is golden. Remove from oven; let stand 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream, if desired.
