Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen cranberries
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Grease a microwave-safe 8x8-inch dish lightly with cooking spray or butter.
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced apples and cranberries. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and cinnamon, then toss to coat evenly.
Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract into the oat mixture. Stir with a fork until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.
Spread the oat topping evenly over the fruit in the dish.
Place the dish in the microwave and cook on high for 7-8 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown. Check halfway through cooking to ensure even heating.
Carefully remove the dish from the microwave (it will be hot) and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
