For a nuttier flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the oat topping. If you prefer a less tart crisp, use a sweeter variety of apples, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji. Store leftover crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving. A touch of lemon zest in the cranberry mixture brightens the flavors beautifully.

Jan 27, 2025The addition of cinnamon really elevates the flavor of this crisp. I also added a sprinkle of nutmeg to the topping for extra warmth.

Oct 11, 2023I found that using melted butter instead of shortening in the topping gave it a richer flavor. I highly recommend trying it!

Aug 22, 2023This recipe is a keeper! The topping was perfectly crunchy and the apple-cranberry filling was the perfect balance of sweet and tart.
