If you want to spice up your baking repertoire beyond boxed Duncan Hines mixes, this dessert is for you. I love this recipe because of its versatility; I've made it gluten-free (just substitute the flour and oats with your standard gluten-free version), and I've even made this in a toaster oven when I didn't have access to a real oven. You can also play around with the types of apples you use.
Every time this apple-cranberry comes out of the oven, my friends devour it in minutes and ask me how I made something so fancy. While it might look complex, this perfect crumble is actually incredibly simple (the hardest part cutting up the apples, I promise).
