Ingredients
  • 4 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1 cup Fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup Cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground nutmeg

Preparing the Fruit Filling

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the chopped apples, cranberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Toss to mix well and let the mixture sit for a few minutes to release the juices. The lemon juice helps to balance the sweetness and prevent the apples from browning.

Making the Crumb Topping

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make sure the butter is very cold to create a crumbly texture.

Assembling the Cobbler

Pour the apple cranberry mixture into an 8x8 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the fruit filling. Gently press the topping down to help it adhere to the filling. This will ensure the topping bakes evenly.

Baking the Cobbler

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Cooling allows the filling to thicken and prevents the topping from becoming soggy.

Serving Suggestions

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup. For an extra touch, sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts.
