Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
Pinch kosher salt
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into cubes and kept cold
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 pound butternut squash, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
2 apples, cut into 1-inch chunks
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 teaspoons cornstarch

Pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the crisp: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
