A popular dessert this time of year, made with pecans, cinnamon and cranberries. Makes 1 dozen squares.
2 cups cracker crumbs (crushed grahams)
3/4 cup butter (melted)
1/2 cup pecans (diced)
8 ounces cream cheese (soft)
14 ounces condensed milk (sweetened)
2 eggs
20 ounces apple pie filling
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup butter (cold)
1/2 cup cranberries (dried)
1/3 cup pecans (diced)
Heat oven to 350 F (175 C). Mix the cracker crumbs together with the butter and nuts. Line a baking pan with baking paper, and use mixture to form a crust on the bottom.
Beat together the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Mix in the milk and both eggs. Add over the crust in the pan, and pour the apple filling on top.
Mix the sugar, flour and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in the cold quarter cup butter, until coarse. Add in the berries and nuts. Sprinkle on top of other layers. Bake for about forty minutes or until golden.
