Ingredients

• 3 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 1 cup Fresh or frozen cranberries
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Grease a microwave-safe 8x8-inch dish lightly with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced apples and cranberries. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and cinnamon, then toss to coat evenly.

Step 3

Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared dish, spreading it out in an even layer.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract into the oat mixture. Stir with a fork until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.

Step 6

Spread the oat topping evenly over the fruit in the dish.

Step 7

Place the dish in the microwave and cook on high for 7-8 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown. Check halfway through cooking to ensure even heating.

Step 8

Carefully remove the dish from the microwave (it will be hot) and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
