This Simple Spring Cranberry Apple Crisp blends tart cranberries and fresh apples with a buttery oat crumble for a beautifully balanced, warm, crunchy‑sweet dessert that’s effortlessly seasonal.
Spring is in the air and this girl couldn’t be happier! I love the changing of the seasons, I find it so inspiring. The warming weather has me craving different foods and the longer brighter days give me more energy for creating. This cranberry apple crisp is super simple and very Spring inspired. The tart cranberries are beautifully balanced with fresh apples and will hit that warm crunchy sweet spot thanks to the oat crisp crumble.
Eating Local
Humans are naturally drawn to fruits and vegetables that are local and in season because these foods are nutrient dense and full of flavour. Have you ever eaten a tomato fresh off the vine? GAME CHANGER PEOPLE! Local food has takes a shorter trip to get on your plate, which means it was harvested at the right time and saved on the ol’ CO2 omissions. Whether fresh or frozen, eating local produce is better for the environment and better for you.
Cranberries For Your Health
Cranberries aren’t just for Thanksgiving; these bright and tart little berries are super good for you and are grown right here in Canada. They come from the berry family so you can be sure they are high in vitamins and antioxidants, but what makes cranberries extra special is they are actually low in sugar. For this recipe I used organic frozen cranberries from Patience Fruit & Co . Cranberries are also a healthy snack and have some wonderful health benefits:
- UTI (urinary tract infection) prevention and treatment
- Support post-menopausal health
- Improve heart health
- Supporting digestion
Spring Dessert
This Cranberry Apple Crisp is super simple to make, you can check out my Instagram highlights to see how I made it step by step. I finished my crumble with some ice cream and mint because I will take any excuse to have ice cream. As we get further into Spring you could try mixing in different fresh fruit like cherries or other mixed berries. Since the cranberries come frozen you can save them and add into the crumble with whatever fruit you have on hand. This fresh Spring dessert is perfect for family gatherings or dinner for two at home on a weeknight.
