1/4 c. chilled butter or stick marg cut into small pieces
7 c. diced peeled Rome apples (about 3 lbs)
1 c. fresh or frozen cranberries
2 T. granulated sugar
2 tsp grated orange rind
3 T. orange juice

1. preheat oven to 375
2. lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level w/ a knife. Combine flour, cornmeal, 1/4 c. granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a bowl; cut in butter w/ a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture is crumbly.
3. combine apple and remaining ingredients in a large bowl; toss well. Spoon the apple mixture into and 8 inch square baking dish or 1 1/2 qt casserole. Sprinke with the crumb mixture. Bake at 375 for 45 min or until golden brown. Yield: 9 servings.

There's nothing really "bad" about this recipe. Sounds yummy!
If you want to "healthy it up" a little, you can replace the cornmeal in the crumble with oatmeal. Otherwise, it's pretty low in the fat and sugar departments, compared to most recipes. Love Cooking Light!!

I would definitely replace the cornmeal with oatmeal. I love oatmeal in crisp and crumble toppings.

Thank you. My husband is a diabetic and this looks pretty good for him if I sub the sugars for Splenda and use oatmeal and ww flour. He Loves this type of thing and it's hard for him to resist.
Thanks again!

Sounds good (with a bit of tweaking: barley flour for all purpose, which allows you to also reduce the sugars because it's sweeter than wheat, and it's whole grain; subs for sugars like a bit of maple syrup or some agave nectar or both; and definitely oatmeal instead of cornmeal)
