- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare Crumble Topping:

-
Prepare Fruit Mixture:

Combine and Toss:

-
Assemble and Bake:
- Spoon the apple and cranberry mixture into a 2-quart baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved flour mixture (crumble topping) evenly over the fruit.
-
Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 40 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
-
Serve:
- Remove the cranberry and apple crumble from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat.
Notes:
- This cranberry and apple crumble recipe is perfect for colder months, combining the tartness of fresh cranberries with the sweetness of baked apples.
