🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 6 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 1.5 cups Fresh or frozen cranberries
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (for topping)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, cranberries, granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, and ground cinnamon. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated.

3. Transfer the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.

4. In another mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, 1/2 cup of flour, brown sugar, and chopped nuts (if using).

5. Add the cold cubed butter to the oat mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

6. Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the fruit mixture in the baking dish.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

8. Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

9. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
