Description
Cranberry apple crisp is a sweet and tart baked dessert made with Granny Smith apples, cranberries, and a spiced oat topping — perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients
- 5 ½ cups peeled, cored, and diced Granny Smith apple (from 4 large or 5 medium apples)
- 8 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- Vanilla bean ice cream (optional)
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine diced apples and cranberries. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Toss to coat evenly.
- Transfer the fruit mixture into a 13×9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish and spread evenly.
- Make the topping: In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and oats. Stir in melted butter until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.
- Crumble the topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
- Allow the crisp to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla bean ice cream or whipped cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Notes
- Store leftovers, covered, at room temperature for up to 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To make individual crisps, divide the filling and topping into 8–10 8-ounce ramekins. Bake for 35–40 minutes.
- Measure flour properly to avoid a dense topping.
- Out of brown sugar? Use a brown sugar substitute.
- Hardened brown sugar? Try softening it with quick kitchen hacks.
