Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 4 cups peeled, sliced apples (about 3 large apples or 4 medium apples)
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries (not thawed if using frozen)
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
For the Topping:
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, softened at room temperature
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup Chopped Pecans
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish or a 10-inch cast iron skillet, or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine the filling ingredients (apples, cranberries, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt) in the prepared dish.
- In a separate bowl, use a fork (or your fingers) to mix together the butter, flour, oats, brown sugar, sugar, pecans, and salt until completely combined. The mixture will be lumpy and clumpy and should look like a streusel crumb topping.
- Spread the topping evenly over the fruit.
- Bake (uncovered) for 50-55 minutes, or until the fruit is hot and bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Top with vanilla ice cream!

Notes
- Use a firm apple variety, such as Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Braeburn, Gala, or Fuji. Softer varieties are better suited for applesauce, as they break down in the oven.
- Don’t slice the apples too thin. They will break down as they bake, so you don’t want them to completely disintegrate in the oven. Some visible slices in your filling are ideal.
- Use fresh or frozen cranberries (not dried cranberries) for the best flavor and juicy texture in your filling.
- This crisp can be enjoyed warm (my preference) or at room temperature.
