Cranberry Apple Oat Crisp

One of the first recipes I learned in my Home Economics class was Apple Crisp. I would make it weekly at home. The smell of apples and cinnamon… it was to die for. A lot has changed since my middle school days, but also a lot hasn’t, including my love for baked apples and cinnamon in my cranberry apple oat crisp recipe.

The season is changing and it’s getting cooler now. Welcome, September. It’s also back to school. Again, welcome September. This is the time of year that we all need quick and easy meals for our kids that are not just nourishing but warming, like a big hug from the inside out. What better way to start your day right!?

I also love to embrace the seasons and eat what is in the harvest. Apples, especially in our area, and cranberries are easily found in every grocery store and at a much lower price too since there is plenty. (Don’t forget to opt for organic – apples are heavily sprayed). I do most of my meal planning with the seasons. Check out my Meal Planning Membership and you can eat just like me every month!

Enjoy this recipe! One of my favorites with a fabulous superfood twist of cranberries. With their high Vitamin C and antioxidant content, it’s a sure winner for keeping our immune systems strong during cold and flu season.
