Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced Honey Crisp apples and frozen cranberries, stirring in brown sugar, granulated sugar, orange juice, orange zest, cornstarch, cinnamon, and a pinch of kosher salt. Toss everything together until the fruits are well-coated and the mixture begins to glisten.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the room-temperature unsalted butter, rolled oats, flour, and additional spices until clumps start to form.
  4. Pour the prepared apple and cranberry filling into a deep pie dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the topping generously over the fruit mixture.
  5. Place your assembled Apple Cranberry Crisp in the preheated oven and bake for 75–90 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes on a wire rack before serving.
