** Pete’s Greens
————————————————————
Pete’s Greens is a certified organic, four season vegetable farm located on the edge of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom in Craftsbury, VT. They believe whole-heartedly that as more people eat locally, we will become healthier as communities and as individuals. That is why they grow a wide range of organic produce that is available through their weekly food delivery program, their seasonal Craftsbury Farmstand, and at restaurants, co-ops, grocery stores, schools, and more across Vermont and nearby in New England. By deciding to eat locally you support thousands of small producers foods grown locally (https://www.petesgreens.com/) and in-season are also more nutritious and taste better, and eating them connects us to our place and to our present time of year.

Cranberry Apple Crumb
-3RFA Community Experience Guide, Perri Krywick.
Ingredients:
Filling –
4 large apples, chopped into ½ in. cubes
2 cups fresh cranberries
1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
1 orange, juiced, and zested
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Topping-
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
A pinch of salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold butter, cut into small pieces
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with butter or oil.
Peel the apples, if desired, and chop them into ½ in pieces. Place the apples in a large mixing bowl and toss with orange juice and zest, maple syrup (or honey) flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. Pour the fruit mixture into the baking dish and spread it out into an even layer. Set aside.
In another large bowl, mix together the nuts, flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the topping. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, gently work in the cold butter until pea-sized lumps are formed. Do not over mix.
Top apples evenly with the oat mixture and press down firmly. Bake until the fruit is bubbly and topping is golden brown, about 45 minutes, rotating once halfway through cooking.
Enjoy warm or room temperature with vanilla ice cream!
