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 gound ginger
1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice

Crisp Topping

1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup sliced almonds optional
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 oz unsalted butter at room temperature cut into cubes

Instructions

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, the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar and the spices. Stir until completly 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.
