Directions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x9x2-inch baking pan. In a small pan over medium-high heat, bring the orange juice and water to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in oats; set aside to cool to lukewarm. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss cranberries with 1/2 C. sugar; set aside. In another small bowl, combine 3/4 C. flour, melted butter and 3 Tbsp. sugar until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; set crumb topping aside. In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 C. flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg; set aside. In a large mixer bowl at medium speed, beat the brown sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, orange rind and vanilla until well blended. Beat in oat mixture. At low speed, beat in flour-nutmeg mixture until smooth. By hand, stir in sugared cranberries. Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle with crumb topping. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean and crumbs are lightly browned. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. |
