Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 12-ounce bag cranberries, thawed if frozen
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ½ lemon juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Crust/Crumb Topping

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, light or dark
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish with nonstick spray and parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan, combine cranberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and salt. Simmer over medium-low heat, smashing the berries until mostly broken down.
  3. Stir in cornstarch and cook until thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add melted butter and mix until crumbly.
  5. Press two-thirds of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  6. Spread the cranberry filling evenly over the crust.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture on top and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and firm.
  8. Cool for 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
