Ingredients

For the cranberry apple mixture:

  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 ½ cups cranberries fresh or frozen
  • 3 cups cored, peeled and chopped Granny Smith apples

For the topping:

  • 1 ½ cups old fashioned oats
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 2 quart baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Prepare the fruit mixture by whisking together granulated white sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl. Add cranberries and apples and gently stir to coat well. Transfer to prepared baking dish.
  • Prepare the topping by stirring together oats, flour, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon and nutmeg until combined. Add melted butter and stir again until incorporated.
  • Evenly sprinkle topping mixture over fruit mixture. Bake approximately 50 minutes, or until edges are bubbling and fruit is tender.

Notes

  • Fresh or frozen cranberries can be used.  No need to thaw if using frozen.
  • Golden Delicious or Honeycrisp apples can be substituted for Granny Smith (or use a mixture).
  • Quick cooking oats can be substituted for old fashioned oats.
  • Once cooled, store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, remove from fridge and allow to come to room temperature.  Bake at 350 degrees F (uncovered) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until heated through.
