1/4 cup milk
8 1/2 cups thinly sliced, peeled baking apples (3 lb.; about 9 medium)

  • In medium bowl, combine 1 cup flour, brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter; mix until crumbly. Sprinkle over fruit.
  • Bake at 375°F. for 45 to 60 minutes or until topping is deep golden brown, apples are tender and filling is bubbly. Cool 1 hour.

I'm not a fan of cranberry desserts, but these squares changed my mind. The apples and cranberries complement each other perfectly, and the streusel topping adds a nice touch of sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again.
