Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and spread them evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle 1 cup of granulated sugar evenly over the cranberries to balance their tartness.
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly incorporate the dry ingredients.
Melt the unsalted butter and stir it into the dry mixture until everything is moistened. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until the topping is crumbly but holds together when pressed slightly.
Scatter the crumbly topping evenly over the sugar-coated cranberries, ensuring full coverage.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cranberries are bubbling beneath.
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. The bake can be served warm as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
