Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cranberries, diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir well to coat the fruit evenly.
Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, and salt. Mix well.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until evenly incorporated.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
