Description

Tangy cranberries and sweet honeycrisp apples under a buttery oat-cinnamon crumb—simple, cozy, and perfect for holidays!


Ingredients

Scale

For the Topping

  • ⅔ cup flour
  • ¾ cup oats
  • ⅔ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup butter (cold, cubed)

For the Cranberry Apple Filling

  • 3 large honeycrisp apples, peeled & chopped
  • 1 ½ cups cranberries (fresh or frozen)
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a large bowl, mix apples, cranberries, brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, nutmeg, and vanilla; transfer to a greased 9-inch pie dish or 8×8-inch pan.

3. In another bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and vanilla; cut in until crumbly like small peas.

4. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit. Set pan on a baking sheet in case it bubbles over.

5. Bake for 55 minutes until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbly.

6. Rest 5–10 minutes to set; serve warm (amazing with vanilla ice cream).

Notes

Make ahead: Assemble, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours; bake straight from the fridge, adding a few extra minutes.

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers 3–4 days; reheat in a 325°F oven to re-crisp.

Swap ideas: Sub pears for some apples or add chopped pecans to the topping for extra crunch.
