Description
A delicious and comforting Cranberry Apple Crisp, perfect for a cozy dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped blanched almonds
- 2 tsps flaky sea salt
- 2/3 cups raw honey or maple syrup
- 1/3 cup ghee or unrefined coconut oil, melted
- For The Filling:
- juice and zest of 1 large fresh orange
- 8 large apples of choice, peeled, cored, and chopped into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1-1/2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 Tbsps gluten-free flour or Arrowroot powder
- 2 tsps ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. and lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with ghee or coconut oil.
- Place your freshly squeezed orange juice into a large bowl.
- Slice 2-3 apples and quickly toss them in your orange juice. Repeat with remaining apples, slicing them in small batches to prevent them from browning.
- Once all the apples are prepared, add the remaining filling ingredients to your bowl. Stir everything really well to combine.
- Transfer the apple-cranberry mixture into your prepared baking dish using a spatula to get all the goodness into the dish. Level it all out into an even layer and cover with parchment or aluminum foil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir the oats, walnuts, almonds, salt, honey/maple syrup, and ghee/coconut oil. Stir very well until every piece is lightly coated.
- Once the baking time for your filling is up, carefully remove the dish from the oven.
- Give the filling a good stir, then evenly sprinkle it with your oat topping.
- Return to the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes uncovered, or until the crumble is lightly golden and bubbly on the sides. Keep an eye on it so that it doesn’t burn.
Notes
- Using a variety of apples can add complexity to the flavor.
- Ensure the topping is evenly distributed for a consistent crisp.
- Monitor the crisp during the final baking stage to prevent burning.
