Step 1
Heat your oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Toss the apples and cranberries together in the dish, then set it aside for a moment.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the sugar, oats, flour, and cinnamon. Give it a quick blend until everything is mixed well. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Sprinkle this crumbly topping evenly over the fruit. Pop the dish into the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the topping is nicely browned and the fruit filling is bubbling hot. Let it cool just a bit before digging in!
Serving Ideas
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. This dessert also pairs well with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added warmth.
How To Keep It Fresh
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave or oven until heated through, which helps keep the topping crisp.
