Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 large Apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, fresh cranberries, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the fruit evenly.
Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, prepare the topping by mixing the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and ground nutmeg together.
Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract over the oat mixture and stir until the mixture is crumbly and evenly combined.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the fruit layer in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is tender and bubbling.
Allow the crisp to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally paired with vanilla yogurt or a light dollop of whipped cream for a healthy touch.
