Ingredients

• 6 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 1.5 cups Fresh or frozen cranberries
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (for topping)
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (light or dark, packed)
• 0.5 cup Butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 0 Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, cranberries, granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, and ground cinnamon. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated.

Step 3

Transfer the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.

Step 4

In another mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, 1/2 cup of flour, brown sugar, and chopped nuts (if using).

Step 5

Add the cold cubed butter to the oat mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the fruit mixture in the baking dish.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

Step 8

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
