A delightful dessert featuring a cranberry filling topped with a crispy golden crust, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cranberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, orange zest, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt. Toss until cranberries are evenly coated.
- Pour the cranberry mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- In another small bowl, whisk together the egg and melted butter until smooth. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the cranberries and gently spread. Some cranberries may remain visible.
- Sprinkle with coarse sugar for extra crunch, if desired.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling bubbles at the edges. If the topping browns too quickly, tent with foil for the last 10 minutes.
- Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Ensure cranberries are well-coated for the best flavor.
- Adjust sugar based on the tartness of cranberries.
- Coarse sugar adds an extra crunch but is optional.
