Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Filling

  • 3 cups fresh cranberries, rinsed
  • 4 medium apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Oat Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking the crumble evenly.
  2. Prepare Fruit Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed cranberries and peeled, sliced apples. Toss with granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice until well coated. Spread this mixture evenly into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  3. Make Oat Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, mix rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, softened unsalted butter, and salt. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until crumbly and combined.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the oat crumble mixture evenly over the fruit layer in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove the crumble from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans or a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the oat topping.
  • Frozen cranberries can be used as a substitute for fresh cranberries with great results.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container; refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • To make this recipe vegan, replace butter with a plant-based margarine or coconut oil.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with oat flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
