Ingredients
For the Apple/Cranberry Filling
- 4 Granny Smith apples - medium to large
- ½ cup cranberries - fresh or frozen
- ¼ cup white granulated sugar
- 1½ tsp. ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp. ground nutmeg
For the Topping
- ½ cup dark brown sugar - packed
- 1½ cup maple granola
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 stick (4 oz.) unsalted butter - softened (with a little extra to grease your pyrex)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C).
- Peel 4 medium-large Granny Smith apples and cut them into half-inch thick slices.
- In a large mixing bowl, add sliced apples, ½ cup cranberries, ¼ cup white sugar, 1½ tsp. ground cinnamon and ½ tsp. ground nutmeg. Mix together until apples and cranberries are nicely coated.
- Grease an 8”x 8” pyrex baking dish with butter (or cooking spray) and pour your apples and cranberries evenly into the pyrex.
- In the same mixing bowl, combine 1½ cups maple granola, ⅔ cup flour, ½ cup packed brown sugar and 1 stick (4 oz.) softened butter. Mix with hands until evenly blended.
- I find I get the most even, crispy top if I place the granola mixture in my hand and flatten it out to about a half-inch thick piece, then patch it over the apple in sections. Create patches of filling and cover apples until they're entirely covered to the edges.
- Bake at 375 F. (190 C.) for 40 minutes, or until topping is golden brown.
- Let sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
1. Use only Granny Smith apples for this recipe. The sweetness of the sugar and granola make the tart green apples and cranberries so exciting!
2. Frozen cranberries are just as good as fresh for this recipe. Just make sure that they are still frozen when adding.
3. To reheat after refrigerating:
Pop it in the oven at 300 F. (148 C.) for 10-15 minutes.
