A warm and comforting Spiced Cranberry Apple Crumble with a crunchy pecan topping, perfect for autumn gatherings. This recipe is easy to make with a quick prep time and can be adapted to be gluten-free and vegan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Fruit Filling:
  • 2 cups Cranberries (substitute with tart cherries)
  • 4 cups Apples (a mix of sweet and tart varieties)
  • 1 cup Sugar (brown sugar recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • For the Crumble Topping:
  • 1 cup Pecans (or walnuts)
  • 1 cup Flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1/2 cup Oats
  • 1/2 cup Butter or Margarine (vegan margarine for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cranberries, sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until the fruits are fully coated.
  3. Transfer the fruit mixture into a greased 9-inch square baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, chopped pecans, and melted butter. Mix with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Evenly spread the crumbly topping over the fruit layer in the baking dish.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  7. Allow the crumble to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • To freeze, wrap the dish tightly and it can last for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Reheat individual servings in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
  • Prepare the fruit filling and crumble topping up to 24 hours in advance for easier assembly.
  • Ensure apple slices are uniform for even cooking.
  • Do not overmix the crumble topping; mix just until crumbly.
  • Let the crumble cool before serving to allow juices to set.
  • Experiment with adding other spices like ginger or cloves.
  • For a vegan option, use vegan margarine.
  • For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free flour blend.
  • For a nut-free option, omit pecans or use sunflower seeds.
  • Add a pinch of ginger or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
