Autumn apples and tart cranberries bubble beneath a golden, buttery oat topping. It comes together in minutes, needs no rolling or fussing, and is wonderful warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Prep 20 min Bake 45 min Serves 8

Ingredients

  • Filling: 6 cups peeled, sliced apples (about 6 medium) and 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • ⅓ cup sugar, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Topping: 1 cup old-fashioned oats, ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon and ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick) cold butter, cut in small cubes

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 9×13-inch or 2-quart baking dish.
  2. Toss the apples and cranberries with the sugar, flour, cinnamon and lemon juice. Spread in the dish.
  3. In a bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Work in the cold butter with your fingers until coarse crumbs form.
  4. Scatter the topping evenly over the fruit.
  5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling at the edges.
  6. Cool for 15 minutes before serving warm.
