Ingredients
  

For the Fruit Filling
  • 5 cups peeled, cored, and sliced Granny Smith apples About 5 medium apples
  • 1.5 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice For bright, cozy flavor
For the Crisp Topping
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter Cold and cubed
  • 0.5 cup pecans Roughly chopped
For Serving
  • vanilla ice cream Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples and cranberries with the granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss to coat.
  3. Spread the fruit mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans.
  5. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit.
Baking
  1. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Let the crisp cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm, preferably with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

For best results, slice apples evenly to ensure consistent baking. Allowing to cool before serving will help the filling set.
