Description

This Cranberry Apple Crisp is the perfect way to use up leftover cranberries! Made with diced apples, tart cranberries, and a crunchy pecan-oat streusel topping, it’s a warm and comforting fall dessert ideal for any occasion.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 2 small baking apples, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch pieces (about 2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • Crisp Topping:
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 2 pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 1-quart casserole dish, 8×8-inch pan, or 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cranberries, diced apples, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well and transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, prepare the streusel topping by stirring together the brown sugar, flour, oats, pecans, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Cut the cold butter into the streusel mixture using a pastry blender or two forks until coarse crumbs form.
  5. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the cranberry-apple mixture.
  6. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  7. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
