Christmas: Cranberry Apple Crunch

Print Recipe

This is one of my all time favorite holiday recipes. It can be served for breakfast, as a side dish , or for dessert. We commonly make it for brunches, and always on Thanksgiving and Christmas (used some leftovers of it as a side to pork tenderloin and it was delicious!).

  • 3 cups chopped, peeled apple (about 2)
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 3T all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Topping:

  • 3 packets (1.51 ounces each) cinnamon spice instant oatmeal
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter a 9×9 baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together chopped apples, cranberries, flour, and sugar and mix well. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
  3. In the same bowl, mix together instant oatmeal, nuts, flour, and sugar.
