Apple Cranberry Crisp
Hi, my name is Michelle, and I have an obsession with Christmas candles.
It’s a problem, guys. If I’m somewhere where they sell seasonal candles, I can’t help but stop and sniff every single holly-jolly-maple-pumpkin-apple scented candle the store has to offer–sometimes twice. It’s practically a compulsion.
Cranberry Apple Cobbler
Since we are getting all confessional and all, I actually spent so much time in Bath and Body Works the other day going through all of their candles (and getting embarrassingly excited over the fact they brought back my favorite scent), four different sales clerks as if I needed help finding anything. #imonlyhereforthecandledisplay
Well, for those of you like me who have a thing for candles and baking, you’re going to l-o-v-e this Apple Cranberry Crisp!
Trust me, your house will smell better than the Christmas candle(s) you spent way too much money on, yet justified it by telling yourself, ‘it’s the season.’ Plus, the crisp is edible, so it’s a win/win situation. 🙂 Am I right, or am I right??
Shopping List for Apple Cranberry Crisp

Let’s talk about the components of this Apple Cranberry Crisp! The ingredients used in this crisp are basic, household ingredients. The simplicity of the recipe makes this sweet crisp (with a hint of tartness) a breeze to make.
The fruit portion of this Cranberry Apple Cobbler uses apples, cranberries, lemon juice, vanilla extract and granulated sugar while the crumble portion uses butter, flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Despite there being 10 ingredients, it truly is a ‘throw together’ dessert that smells and tastes like the season. Top with a scoop of ice cream or dollop of whipped cream to make it the perfect dessert!
Also, look how beautiful the cranberries are against the brown crumble! They are bursting with flavor, however they are still gorgeous in color!
Steps to make Cranberry Apple Cobbler
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Grease the baking dish
- In a large bowl, combine chopped apples, cranberries, granulated sugar, vanilla and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, mix oats, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
- With a pastry cutter or a fork, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour fruit mixture into casserole dish in an even layer.
- Spread the crumble even over the top of the crisp.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until the fruit is tender and the topping is golden brown.
While I love the combination of cranberries and apples, this is my favorite part of this dessert! It’s sweet, slightly crunchy, and exactly what the crisp needed. Serve it hot, warm, or cold, because every temperature tastes fantastic!
If you are looking for another cranberry dessert perfect for fall I adore these Cranberry Bars too for a quick and easy portable dessert!

I added a couple of tablespoons of Boiled Cider to enhance the apple flavor along with Apple Pie Spice. Yum.
Madalyn says
Do the honeycrisp apples make this dessert too sweet?
Madalyn says
Also, can you use frozen cranberries? Thanks!
Julie Evink says
I’m sorry I’ve never tried it with frozen cranberries, but I think it would work.
Julie Evink says
No they balance the tartness of the cranberries nicely.
Shirley says
This was great! Made it with gluten free flour instead of regular flour for Thanksgiving and all the guest raved about it. No one was left out because of pie crust. Will make it again for upcoming Christmas dinner.
Julie Evink says
Thanks for letting me know that the gluten free flour worked great! I’m so glad that it worked for your family and was a hit 🙂

Made this up for our church potluck tomorrow can hardly wait to dive in, I doubled the recipe since it was a bigger dish. Smells super tasty oh and I used one and a half of the crumble topping since I love crumbled toppings and I am to lazy to make a pie so crisp it is!

Hi Julie – plan to try this recipe tomorrow but would it be as good baked in a foil pan as it’s for a church fair? Thanks!

I too love candles. Smelling them until my throat is irritated. I combine my battery operated candles with a timer and real candles so every evening I have the glow around me!
