Ingredients for Apple Cranberry Crunch

  • 4 medium apples (about 4 cups, peeled and sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce
  • Quick Cooking Oats
  • All Purpose Flour
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter
  • ½ cup chopped pecans

How to Make Apple Cranberry Crunch

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  2. Peel and slice 4 medium apples (about 4 cups). Arrange them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle the apples generously with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. Spread 1 cup of whole berry cranberry sauce evenly over the apples.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup chopped pecans, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cranberry layer.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. Let cool slightly before serving.
  9. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
