Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the diced apples and fresh cranberries. Add lemon juice, 0.25 cups of the granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Toss well to coat the fruit evenly.
Spread the fruit mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, light brown sugar, remaining 0.5 cups of granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Pour the melted butter over the dry mixture and stir until it forms a crumbly, moist texture. If using chopped walnuts or pecans, fold them into the mixture at this stage.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cranberry apple mixture in the baking dish, ensuring full coverage.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole crisp cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as-is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
