Fruit Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups cranberries
- 3 medium apples, peeled and finely diced about 2½ cups worth
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Crust Ingredients
- 1 cup butter melted
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 egg
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla
- 2¼ cups flour
- 2 cups oatmeal
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cranberries, apples, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Stir with a wooden spoon or whisk until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla and whisk smooth. Add the flour, oatmeal, cinnamon, and salt. Stir with a fork to combine until crumbly.
Press half of this mixture into a buttered or parchment-lined 9×13 pan. Pour the fruit mixture over the bottom crust and then sprinkle the rest of the dry mixture on top.
Bake for 30-36 minutes, until the crust turns golden brown. Serve warm from the oven or let cool completely and slice into servings.
