This recipe is from one of my favorite books; Simply In Season. This book is full of recipes that celebrate fresh, local foods and encourages you to eat in season! Fall and winter is a perfect time to make apple crisp. This Cranberry Apple Crisp recipe is a variation of the traditional apple crisp.
Whether I am enjoying cranberries in a cookie or a crisp I just love the tartness they bring to a recipe. I’ve used cranberries in an apple pie and this crisp is equally as delicious!
Cranberry Apple Crisp
Ingredients:
4 cups of apples, peeled and sliced. I used a variety of apples.
2 cups of cranberries
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tsp orange peel
Directions:
Combine these ingredients in a large bowl and toss gently until the fruit is coated. Place the coated fruit in a greased 8×8 inch baking dish.
Topping Ingredients:
¾ cup brown sugar
¾ cup flour
¾ cup rolled oats
½ cup oat bran
1 tsp cinnamon
Combine these ingredients in a medium bowl.
4 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp oil
¹⁄3 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Directions:
Cut the butter and oil into the flour mixture until it crumbles. Sprinkle evenly over the apple mixture. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-50 minutes or until the fruit is soft and the topping is crisp. Delicious served warm with a little ice cream.
