Name: Cranberry Apple Crisp
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 45 min
Total time: 65 min
Yield: Serves 8
Ingredients: 4 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced (about 4 cups); 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries; 3/4 cup granulated sugar; 2 tablespoons cornstarch; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 3/4 cup packed brown sugar; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed; 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or 2-quart casserole dish.
Mix the fruit filling

In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples and cranberries. Add the granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle with lemon juice and vanilla extract, then toss until all fruit is evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
Make the crisp topping

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped nuts if using.
Assemble and bake

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the fruit mixture, covering it completely. Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any potential overflow during baking.
Bake until golden

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges. If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil.
Cool and serve

Allow the crisp to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This helps the filling set and makes it easier to portion. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
