A warm apple crumble with a buttery cinnamon-oat topping, finished with a tart and zesty cranberry orange glaze for a balanced flavor profile.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375F (190C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with 1/2 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of flour until evenly coated.
- Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish and press down slightly.
- In another bowl, combine rolled oats, 1 cup flour, and 1 cup brown sugar.
- Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples without pressing it down.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- While baking, combine cranberries, orange juice, and granulated sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until cranberries burst (about 10 minutes).
- Strain the cranberry mixture through a sieve to remove skins, then whisk in powdered sugar and orange zest until smooth.
- Let the crumble cool for 10 minutes, then drizzle the warm cranberry orange glaze over the top before serving.
