How to Make Apple Cranberry Crumble
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
- Peel, core, and slice 4 medium apples (about 6 cups). Combine the apples and 1 (12-ounce) bag of fresh or frozen cranberries in the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the apple and cranberry mixture with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the oat crumble evenly over the apple and cranberry mixture.
- Bake, uncovered, for 55-60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover the edges with foil.
- Let cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. Best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
