Equipment

  • vegetable peeler
  • sharp knife
  • large mixing bowl
  • hand or stand mixer with a paddle attachment
  • 9 X 13 baking dish or 6-8 oven-safe ramekins

Ingredients
  

For the Filling

  • 3 pounds granny smith apples
  • 1 cup dried cranberries 50% less sugar variety
  • 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce rinsed of jelly
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose four
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • zest and juice of 2 lemons

For the Crumble Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose four
  • 1 cup oatmeal
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • pinch kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

For the Filling

  • Peel, core, and dice the apples - cut into about 1/2 inch dice.  
  • Place apples and all other ingredients in a large mixing bowl and toss to combine. 
  • Pour into a 9 X 13 baking dish or divide evenly into individual ramekins and set aside.

For the Crumble Topping

  • Place all the ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
  • Mix starting on low and moving gradually up to medium until well combined and the butter is about the size of peas.  If you don't have a stand mixer, you can use a hand mixer or your hands to crumble everything together. Just work quickly so as not to melt the butter too much.
  • Sprinkle the topping over the cranberry apple mixture evenly. 
  • Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to 1 hour. 
  • Remove and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Optionally you can add 1/2 cup of chopped walnut or pecans to the crumble for extra crunch.
If fresh cranberries are in season you can use 1 1/2 cups of fresh instead of the dried and canned - I usually prefer this however if I am making it early in the season I will use the combination of dried and canned rinsed of the jelly.
You can also bake this in individual serving dishes.  If you plan to do this, dice the apples smaller and really pack everything into each dish.  This will make about 6-8 individual servings.
