Ingredients

For the topping
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick (4 oz) unsalted butter cold, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts chopped (optional)
For the filling
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 pounds baking apples such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries

Instructions

Make the topping
    Cup of Yum
  1. Crank up the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and salt together in a large bowl.
  3. Add the butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to mix the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the nuts, if using.
Make the filling
  1. Dump the sugar into a large bowl. Add the lemon zest and use your fingertips to rub the lemon zest into the sugar until fragrant. Whisk in the cornstarch.
  2. Add the apples and cranberries to the sugar and stir to coat well. Scrap the fruit into a 2 1/2-quart baking dish. Scatter the topping evenly over the fruit, making sure that all of the apples and cranberries are covered.
  3. Bake until the apples are tender when poked and the topping is golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes. Let the crisp cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  4. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Make individual crisps--To make individual apple cranberry crisps, divvy the filling and topping between six 8-ounce ramekins and reduce the baking time to about 40 minutes.
  • Storage and reheating--Store the crisp, covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before reheating. Reheat in a 300°F oven until warmed through.
