Easy Cranberry Apple Crisp
An easy, yet delicious dessert for the holidays when cranberries are fresh and in season, this Cranberry Apple Crisp is full of warm spices and citrus notes from orange zest. It’s the perfect holiday crisp.
Our love for cranberries continues with this easy, yet delicious cranberry apple crisp. So much easier than making a pie – there is no crust in a crisp. You get all the delicious crunch in the crumble on top and juicy, plump cranberries and apples for the filling. The crisp has just a hint of tartness, which complements the sweet apples. If you want it sweeter, you can add more sugar.
The filling only calls for 3/4 of a cup of sugar, so try it first, then when you make it again you can increase the sugar. It’s scrumptious!
Ingredients
Cranberry Apple Filling
- 4 apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice
Crisp Topping
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

How to Make a Cranberry Apple Crisp
For this recipe, the pie dish I used is 9″ on the bottom, 10″ on the top.
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
In a large bowl, combine the apple slices and the cranberries. Top with orange juice, orange zest, flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and spices. Stir until completely mixed. Pour the filling into the pie dish and set it aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the oats, flour, almonds, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cubed butter to the bowl and mix with two forks or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it’s combined and resembles a coarse meal.
Sprinkle the topping over the fruit, spreading evenly with your fingers.
Bake the crisp for 55 -60 minutes, or until the top is golden and the fruit is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
