Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

With your fingertips, work it together with the flour until it is like rough meal. Mix in the nuts, and spread the topping evenly over the cranberries. (If making several hours in advance, cover and refrigerate. If assembling the day before, refrigerate the cranberry mixture and topping separately, and combine right before cooking.)
- Bake on the middle level of the oven for 40 minutes, until the juices have started to bubble up and the crust has browned. Let cool for 20 minutes before serving warm with creme fraiche, ice cream or frozen yogurt.

- Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and makes them more crunchy.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help prevent the sugar from burning.
- Stir constantly: Stirring the mixture constantly will help prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
- Let the mixture cool completely: This will help it set and become firm.
