Cranberry Apple Crisp
During the fall try doing apple tastings with your kids to determine your family’s favorites. Cortland and Macoun are two of ours. For a variation, replace raw sugar with maple sugar. Because we have kept the butter to a minimum in the topping it will not become crispy in a way that you might recognize. It’s delicious even without all the extra butter. This is a nice dessert once in a while as a special treat. Otherwise, small portions make a healthful snack.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Cortland or Macoun apples, peeled and sliced
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 3 cups (about one bag) cranberries, washed and picked over

- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Topping
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Mix the apples with lemon juice. Add the cranberries and toss to combine.
