Meet our cherished Cranberry Crisp, a beloved family tradition that's been warming our hearts for generations. This dish holds a special place in our holiday celebrations; one year, our siblings all received a wooden cutting board with this recipe engraved as a gift - that's how special it is! It's a recipe that calls for making two batches every time because one is never enough. Some may argue it's dessert, but in our home, it's an essential part of the main meal. Plus, it's adaptable – use gluten free oats and/or dairy free butter if needed. PS - double the topping too for extra deliciousness!

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Start by mixing together cranberries, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
  2. Then, gently fold in the apples. Mix them in only after the other ingredients above have combined.
  3. Transfer the mixture into a greased casserole dish, making sure it's spread out evenly.
  4. For the topping, combine softened butter (ensure it is softened, not melted), oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon until the mixture resembles coarse sand and is crumbly. Using your hands can help to achieve the ideal texture for the crumble.
  5. Sprinkle the topping generously over the dish.
  6. Pop it in the oven at 375°F for about 45 minutes, until you have the perfect golden and crispy topping.

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.

  1. 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!
