Cranberry Apple Crisp

It's cranberry season! And if you ask me, the ultimate cranberry combo is cranberry and apples! These two fruits are delicious on their own, but even better together, and this cranberry apple crisp is such a delicious pairing of them! It's sweet and tart, full of cozy spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and covered with a crunchy crisp topping. 

INGREDIENTS FOR CRANBERRY APPLE CRISP

This crisp is incredibly easy to make.  You are going to need two bowls for this recipe.  One will be for the cranberry apple filling, and the other will be for the crisp topping.  Here's a list of the ingredients you'll need or the delicious fruit filling. 

• Cranberries

• Apples 

• Brown sugar

• Flour

• Spices

• Vanilla extract


Then for the crumb topping, here's what you'll need:

• Flour

• Old-fashioned rolled oats

• Brown sugar

• Melted butter

• Cinnamon

• Salt

MAKING CRANBERRY APPLE CRISP

This cranberry apple crisp takes just minutes to throw together. Here's what you'll do:

Step 1: Make the fruit filling. To a large bowl, add all of the cranberry apple filling ingredients and mix well to combine.

Step 2: Make the crisp topping. Combine all of the crisp topping ingredients in a bowl. Mix with a fork until everything is combined and the topping forms. The mixture should be clumpy!

Step 3: Assemble the crisp. Pour the fruit mixture into a 9x9 baking dish that has been lightly greased. Spread it out evenly. Then, evenly sprinkle the crisp topping mixture on top of the fruit. Use your hands to break it up into small chunks.

Step 4: Bake it! Pop into a preheated 350°F oven and bake for 40-50 minutes. Once the crisp is done baking, the top should be a light golden brown.

TIPS FOR THE BEST CRANBERRY APPLE CRISP

Don't skimp on the spices! The cinnamon and nutmeg give this crisp great fall flavor and compliment the apples and cranberries so much. Don't forget to add them!

Serve it warm! As far as serving goes, I definitely recommend serving this freshly baked and warm. The only thing that could make it better would be to serve it with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top (which is HIGHLY recommended!)

Top it with ice cream. A big scoop of vanilla ice cream is the perfect creamy topping to enjoy with the warm crisp.
