Cranberry Apple Crisp
Yield: 8 servings
This sweet-tart Cranberry Apple Crisp recipe features fresh apples and cranberries, plus a crispy, buttery oats topping (that actually stays crisp!). This dessert is perfect for fall and the holidays. Serve it warm on its own, or top with scoops of vanilla ice cream!
Ingredients
For the Filling
- 2 cups whole fresh cranberries
- 4 cups diced Honeycrisp apples about 2 large apples
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
For the Topping
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup rolled oats not quick oats
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon Morton kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, softened (but not melty)
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 350° F and lightly spray a 9” pie pan (or 8"x8" pan, or similar-sized baking dish) with nonstick baking spray.
- For the filling: In a large bowl, mix together all of the filling ingredients until well combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
- For the topping: In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder until combined.

- Bake: Sprinkle the topping over the filling and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is browned and the filling is bubbly.
Notes
Fresh vs. frozen cranberries: Frozen cranberries tend to release more liquid than fresh cranberries – either one will work in this recipe. However, if you plan to use frozen cranberries I recommend using cornstarch instead of flour – it will help thicken the sauce so you don’t end up with a watery crisp. No need to defrost the cranberries.
