A delightful Spiced Cranberry Apple Crumble featuring a juicy mix of fresh cranberries and apples tossed in warming cinnamon and nutmeg, topped with a golden, buttery oat and pecan crumble. Perfect for cozy fall gatherings and served warm with optional vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Mixture

  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 4 cups diced apples (mix of sweet and tart varieties)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Crumble Topping

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready when your crumble mixture is prepared.
  2. Prepare Fruit Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh cranberries, diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss the ingredients thoroughly until the fruit is evenly coated with the sugar and spices, which will help create a flavorful and juicy filling.
  3. Transfer to Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Pour the fruit mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly to create a uniform base for the crumble topping.
  4. Make Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, salt, and softened unsalted butter. Mix with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Stir in the chopped pecans for added texture and flavor.
  5. Assemble and Bake: Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the fruit mixture in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the crumble from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving. This dessert is best enjoyed warm, especially when paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a creamy contrast.

Notes

  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an elevated dessert experience.
  • Feel free to customize the spice blend by adding cloves or ginger for extra warmth.
  • Adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the crumble topping provides delightful crunch and depth.
  • This crumble can be prepared a day in advance and reheated for convenience.
