- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger

For Topping:
- ¾ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup chopped walnuts (or other nuts, such as pecans or almonds)
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- pinch kosher salt
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Equipment
- 8 x 8-inch Baking Dish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter an 8 x 8-inch baking dish; set aside.
Prepare Filling:
- Combine cranberries, apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well.
- Transfer apple-cranberry mixture to buttered baking dish, spreading in an even layer. Set aside.
Prepare Topping:
- Wipe out the large bowl, then add the oats, flour, walnuts, brown sugar, and salt. Use a whisk to combine everything.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the fruit.
- Use a spoon to drizzle the melted butter over the oat topping.
Bake:
- Bake the crisp until the topping is browned and the fruit is bubbling, about 45 to 50 minutes.
- Let crisp cool for at least 30 minutes before eating. Serve plain or topped with ice cream. Enjoy!
Notes
Apples - Slice the apples about ¼ inch thick for the filling. I used two large apples, which equaled 4 generous cups of sliced apples. My apples weighed 1 pound 9.3 ounces ( 715 grams) total. Any variety of crisp apple will work (I used Cosmic Crisp), and you can use peeled or unpeeled apples (I used unpeeled).
Cranberries - If fresh cranberries are out of season, feel free to substitute ½ cup dried cranberries.
Sugar - I used light brown sugar, however dark brown sugar will also work.
Topping - Prefer your topping without oats? Substitute my Crumble Topping. The dessert will be delicious either way!
