Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh cranberries
- 3 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.75 cups Sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cranberries, diced apples, 1/4 cup of sugar, and the lemon juice. Stir to evenly coat the fruit, then transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish.
In another bowl, prepare the crumb topping by combining the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Add the cubed butter to the dry ingredients for the topping. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the vanilla extract to the fruit mixture in the baking dish and gently stir to distribute it evenly.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the fruit mixture, ensuring full coverage.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling at the edges.
Allow the dessert to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
