- ½ cup granulated sugar

- ¼ teaspoon orange zest (optional; or ½ teaspoon lemon zest)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)

Method 4
- 01
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- 02
Make the filling: Core, peel and cut the apples into 1/2-inch chunks. Combine the apples with cranberries, orange zest, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a large bowl and toss until well coated. Pour into a 7 x 11 baking dish.

Make the topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and kosher salt . Cut the butter into small pieces and then use a fork to mix it into the oats until fully distributed and a crumbly dough forms. It may take a while so be patient; you can also use a fork or pastry cutter if you prefer. (If using coconut oil, it can be room temperature; use the same method to add it.) Pour the crumble on top and smooth it into an even layer with your fingers.
- 04
Bake: Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the top is evenly golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Cool for 30 minutes to 1 hour, then serve warm. You can leave out your crisp on the counter for up to 1 day (covered, at night) so the topping can stay crisp. After 1 day, refrigerate any leftovers. This crumble also freezes well for several months in a sealed container; reheat it in a 350°F oven until bubbly and the topping is crisp.
