Cranberry Apple Crisp Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cranberry Apple Crisp Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). Grab a 9x12-inch baking dish and give it a light greasing to prevent sticking. This will be the home for your delicious crisp!

2. Step 2

   In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, white sugar, and about half of the fresh cranberries. Heat this mixture over medium heat until it reaches a gentle boil. Let it simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries start to pop and release their tart goodness.

3. Step 3

   Once the cranberries have burst, mix in the chopped Gala apples along with the remaining cranberries. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, pour this vibrant fruit mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and rolled oats. Stir in the softened butter until everything is well mixed and crumbly. This topping is what will make your crisp irresistible!

5. Step 5

   Sprinkle the oat and pecan mixture generously over the fruit layer in the baking dish. Make sure to cover it well for that perfect crunch in every bite.

6. Step 6

   Now, pop the dish into your preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the filling is bubbling and the oat topping has turned a lovely golden brown. The aroma will fill your kitchen and make your mouth water!

7. Step 7

   Once baked, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This crisp is delightful on its own or served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
