Gluten Free Cranberry Apple Crisp
Meet our beloved Cranberry Crisp, a family favorite passed down through generations. It’s so special, one year our siblings received wooden cutting boards engraved with the recipe! It's must-have at our holiday meals, often requiring two batches—one is never enough. While some consider it dessert, we treat it as an essential part of the main meal. For extra deliciousness, double the topping! If you love cranberry dishes, you need to try this cranberry-topped baked brie, too!

Notes
You can use any type of apple for this recipe, but I frequently opt for a mix of half red and half green apples. If you're all about that extra crispy goodness, don't think twice about doubling up on the topping – in my book, double topping equals double happiness! When preparing the topping, make sure the butter is softened just a bit, but be cautious not to melt it! Melting it will affect the texture. Quick oats work best, but if you have regular oats, give them a quick pulse in a food processor to break them up. Be sure to reach for gluten free oats if needed; it won't affect the recipe one bit. And for those opting for dairy-free, a simple switch to dairy-free butter does the trick. This recipe even shines during Passover – just substitute the oats with gluten free matzah meal.

What size casserole dish do you use for this recipe? I use coconut sugar, honey or maple syrup to sweeten my baking. How would you substitute the sugars in your recipe with any of these sweeteners?
Thanks for your interest in my family recipe and for your questions! I’d recommend using coconut sugar over a liquid sweetener if you’re considering a sugar substitute. You can also reduce the sugar amount. A 9×13 or larger is great, especially when making multiple servings at once. Hope you love it!
Will have to try this one!!
It’s a family favorite – a true holiday indulgence that comes to the table few times a year!
