Apple Cranberry Crisp
Description
Apple Cranberry Crisp features peeled and chopped apples mixed with dried cranberries, lemon juice, cinnamon, and granulated sugar. This filling rests beneath a topping of flour, brown sugar, salt, granulated sugar, cold vegan butter, and rolled oats cut together until coarse and pebble-sized. After chilling the topping briefly, it is spread evenly over the fruit mixture in a baking dish.
Baked at 375°F for 55 to 65 minutes, the apples become tender and meld with the tart cranberries, while the topping crisps and browns. The lemon juice brightens the fruit, and cinnamon adds warmth. Using thinly sliced apples helps the fruit cook thoroughly without remaining crunchy.
This crisp is best served warm soon after baking to maintain the crunchy topping texture. A variety of apples can be used, with Granny Smith recommended to balance sweetness. Leftovers may soften in the refrigerator, so consume within a day or two for ideal texture. The combination of sweet and tart fruit with a textured oat topping makes it satisfying as a dessert or alongside breakfast items like yogurt or oatmeal.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- ½ teaspoon salt

- 1 cup rolled oats of
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 6 apple peeled and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

- Mix the lemon juice, cinnamon, dried cranberries, and remaining sugar in a bowl with the chopped apples.

Notes

- Granny Smith apples help prevent the dessert from becoming overly sweet but any apple variety works.
