Apple, Pear, and Fresh Cranberry Crisp
This crisp is a wonderful way to showcase the vibrant flavors of fresh fruits combined with a crunchy topping. Let’s look at what you’ll need to get started:
Ingredients
- 2 cups of fresh cranberries
- 2 medium apples, peeled and sliced
- 2 medium pears, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup of rolled oats
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour (or almond flour for a gluten-free version)
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 1/2 cup of plant-based butter or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh cranberries, sliced apples, and pears. If you like a little tanginess, add the lemon juice here.
- Transfer the fruit mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- In another bowl, mix rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add in the melted plant-based butter or coconut oil, and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- If you’re using nuts, fold them into the oat mixture for an extra crunch.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the fruit in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fruits are bubbling.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
This Apple, Pear, and Fresh Cranberry Crisp is best served warm, perhaps with a scoop of vegan ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream on top. It’s the perfect way to end any meal on a sweet note. Enjoy your delicious creation!
