For a richer flavor, try using browned butter in the oat topping. If you prefer a less tart crisp, reduce the amount of cranberries slightly or add a touch more brown sugar to the topping. A sprinkle of turbinado sugar over the topping before baking adds a nice crunch. This crisp can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add about 10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Feel free to experiment with different types of apples! Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith would all work well. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
