This can be done in a Food Processor.

Sprinkle crumbs over cranberry apple mixture, covering completely.
Bake for about 35 to 45 minutes until crumbs are golden brown and the cranberry and apples are tender when pierced with a sharp knife. If top browns too quickly, cover with aluminum foil and lower temperature to 325ºF.
