Fruit crisp

No pictures, as it's in the oven right now, but here is a recipe for fruit crisp I tweaked:
Preheat oven to 350F
generously butter medium glass baking pan (7x11?  8x??)
5 Gala apples, cut into bite-sized pieces
enough dried cranberries to almost cover bottom of pan
approximately 3/8 cup juice (I had cranberry-pomegranate open in the fridge)
in smallish bowl mix together
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2-3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch salt if using unsalted butter
cut in 1/4 cup (half stick) butter
add 1/2 to 1 cup oats (recipe I started with calls for 1/2 cup, but hubby asked if we could have more this time) mix and spread on top of fruit
bake 35-45 minutes ... we do 35 because we don't feel like waiting longer

I have apples on hand since they were on sale the other week, but this will work with just about any kind of fruit you could care to put in crisp.  We're pretty much going to eat this for "dinner" plus the leftovers will make a nice warm breakfast tomorrow.

Can anyone tell we're kicking off another "cold" snap here?  Overnight low is forecast to be 41F.  It only got up to 60F today - which was our overnight low for Sunday.  I do not exaggerate when I say we can go from 80+ daytime high to frost overnight in 36 hours down here in the winter.
