Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 375° degrees F. Lightly butter or spray a cast iron skillet, or 9-by-13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Filling: In a large bowl, combine the apples, cranberries, orange zest, orange juice, sugar and flour. Set aside. 
  3. Topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and almonds. Add the butter and give it a good stir to combine. Then finish working the mixture with your fingers. 
  4. Put it together: Transfer the filling to the baking dish and then sprinkle with the topping. 
  5. Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and juices are bubbly around the edges. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. 
  6. Optional: Serve with a side of dairy-free ice cream.

Notes

  • Apples: I use Honeycrisp Apples here. You can also use Braeburn, Crispin, or Pink Lady. 
  • Brown Sugar: You can use coconut sugar or cane sugar as an alternative.
  • Cranberries: You can use frozen fresh for this recipe. (When cranberries are in season, I usually buy a number of bags and throw them in the freezer for later).
