Ingredients
Scale
- 2/3 cup Flour
- 3/4 cup Oats
- 2/3 cup Brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Butter (Cold, cut into cubes)
- 3 large honey crisp apples
- 1 & 1/2 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 tbsp corn starch
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Instructions
- preheat the oven to 350F.
- Peel and chop the apples, and them to a large bowl with the cranberries, sugar, cinnamon, corn starch and nutmeg, and mix to combine. Pour into a 9-inch pie place or an 8×8-inch square pan.
- In a separate large bowl mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix with a pastry cutter or clean hands. You'll know it's ready when the mixture is crumbly and looks like small peas.
- Pour the dry mixture evenly on top of the cranberry-apple mixture and bake in the oven for 55 minutes. Make sure to place your dish on a baking sheet because it might leak.
- Let the cranberry apple crisp rest for 5-10 minutes to set before serving it with ice cream.
