Few fruits remind us of the holidays like naturally tart, vividly red cranberries. They’re wonderful as a sauce or jelly with a classic turkey dinner, but they also shine in baked goods, from muffins to loaves, pies, tarts, cheesecakes and more.
Cranberries sparkle as the star of the show in this comforting crumble that is right at home on the holiday dinner table or family brunch buffet. The fruit filling is not overly sweet, letting the wonderful pucker of cranberries shine through.
Make one crumble at a time, or make several at once and freeze to enjoy hot-from-the-oven any time at all. To freeze, simply assemble (foil pans work nicely for freezer storage), cover with plastic wrap and foil, label and keep in the freezer for up to 6 months. To bake, remove the foil and plastic wrap and bake as directed in the recipe below.
