Ingredients

Filling:
  • 6 cups peeled and thinly sliced baking apples such as Fuji, Honey Crisp, Jonagold or Granny Smith (1.25 lbs or 4 medium apples)
  • 2 cups frozen cranberries, defrosted
  • 3 tablespoons flour (I use white whole wheat flour)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar or light brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 orange, zested and juiced
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
Topping:
  • ¾ cup flour (I use white whole wheat)
  • ⅓ cup rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (can use coconut oil)
  • ¼ cup Chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Toss the apple slices, cranberries, flour, sugar, cinnamon, orange zest, 2 tablespoons orange juice, and maple syrup together in a large bowl.
  3. To make the topping, mix the flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, salt and butter together in a bowl. Use a fork or your hands to break the butter up into small pieces. Add the nuts and mix until combined.
  4. Spray a 13x9-inch rectangular or 15-inch oval baking dish with cooking spray and pour the apple mixture into the dish. Spread the topping evenly over the fruit.
  5. Place the dish on a baking sheet (to catch any drippings) and bake in the oven until it is bubbly and the apples are tender, 55-60 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

  •  
  • This healthy apple cranberry crisp is also delicious for breakfast topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt.
  • You can prepare the apple cranberry crisp a day in advance, cover it, and store it in the refrigerator. You can also freeze the unbaked crisp for up to 3 months.  Allow the frozen crisp to defrost in the fridge overnight before baking.
