8 cups, (about 3 pounds) Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2 slices
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
zest from a large orange
1/4 cup water

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Butter a 9X13 inch baking dish; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl toss together the sliced apples (8 cups), cranberries (1 1/2 cups), granulated sugar (3/4 cup), brown sugar (1/4 cup), 1 tablespoon of flour, cinnamon (1 1/2 teaspoons), nutmeg (1/2 teaspoon), ginger (1/4 teaspoon), and zest from a large orange.
Spread the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and arrange it so the fruit is somewhat level.
Sprinkle the water (1/4 cup) evenly over the apples.

In a medium mixing bowl, add all the topping ingredients, except the pecans. Using a pastry blender or two butter knives, cut the butter (1 cup) into the other ingredients until the butter is the size of peas and the mixture is crumbly. Fold in pecans (1 cup).
Spread the topping evenly over the top of the apples and cranberries. Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the top is crisp, the edges of the topping are browning, and the apples are tender.
