Everyone loves this Cranberry Apple Crisp recipe. Made with seasonal apples and cranberries, it’s perfect for holiday gatherings!

It’s that time of year again: the time of fresh cranberries!

This cranberry apple crisp is the most delicious winter twist on the classic favorite apple crisp.

Fresh cranberries are perfectly tart and juicy, and one of my favorite things to bake with every fall and winter.

This seasonal dessert is perfect served hot from the oven along with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

How to make cranberry apple crisp

Step 1: Add the ingredients for the filling to a bowl. You will need: fresh cranberries, around 5 cups of diced apple chunks, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon.

While you are making the crisp topping, it will give the filling time to marinate.

By the time 5 – 10 minutes have passed and you stir it again, it will have absorbed the cornstarch and sugar mostly.

Step 2: After you are done with the filling, get another bowl to make the crisp topping.

To a bowl, add the brown sugar, walnut flour, oat flour, rolled oats, and salt. Whisk until combined. Pour the melted coconut oil and butter over the top of the other crisp ingredients. Stir until the topping is well combined.

This crisp topping is easy to make and naturally gluten free for any family members you might have.

For a little extra nutty flavor, I added walnut ‘flour’ to this recipe.

Just like in my cranberry blueberry crisp, I grind up walnuts into flour and add it to the crisp topping.

You can also substitute pecans here in place of walnuts if you would like.

Step 3: Stir the crisp filling one last time, then pour it into a baking dish, or pie pan like I used. Distribute the crisp topping evenly over the filling.

Step 4: Bake the cranberry apple crisp at 350 degrees for 55 – 60 minutes, or until the top is nice and browned and begins to crisp up.

Serve it hot with vanilla ice cream.

This crisp has all the flavors of fall, and is sweet and cinnamon-y without being too sweet. It was gone so fast in our house!
