Description
A delightful autumn dessert featuring a harmonious balance of tart Honeycrisp apples and vibrant cranberries, crowned with a buttery, crunchy oat topping. This classic comfort dish delivers a sophisticated profile with contrasting textures that are perfect for holiday gatherings or a cozy weeknight treat. The acidity of the fresh fruit cuts through the sweetness, while the golden-brown crumble provides a satisfying finish to every bite.
Ingredients
6 cups Honeycrisp apples, peeled and sliced thinly
1.5 cups fresh cranberries
0.5 cup granulated sugar
1.5 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar, packed
0.75 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1.5 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine sliced apples, cranberries, and granulated sugar in a large bowl and toss until evenly coated.
Transfer the fruit mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a separate bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter until coarse crumbs form.
Sprinkle the topping uniformly over the fruit layer.
Bake for 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
If using frozen cranberries, ensure they are thawed and patted dry before mixing. For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven for best texture.
