Cinnamon Apple Cranberry Crunch image

This take on a crumble uses phyllo dough instead of oats. It's delicious with a dollop of yogurt or ice cream.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups cranberries (fresh or partially defrosted frozen)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Coarse salt
1/2 cup honey
3 small or 2 large McIntosh apples (about 1 pound), peeled if desired, cored and cut into 1 1/2 inch wedges
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 sheets phyllo dough

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. In an 8-by-8-inch baking dish, toss cranberries with cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Drizzle with 1/4 cup honey. Arrange apples on top of cranberries in one layer, skin sides down. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons honey. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Melt together butter, remaining honey, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Working with one sheet of phyllo at a time and keeping the others covered with plastic wrap, brush very lightly with butter mixture. Lay a second sheet over first and brush with butter mixture. Repeat with one more sheet. Tear the phyllo crosswise into 4 pieces, and loosely crumple (as youwould a tissue) as you place on top of the apples. Repeat with remaining three sheets of phyllo and butter mixture.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce to 350 degrees. Bake until juices bubble in center and apples are tender, 40 to 50 minutes more. If top darkens too quickly, tent with foil. Cool 30 minutes.

CRANBERRY-ORANGE CRUNCH MUFFINS

Make and share this Cranberry-Orange Crunch Muffins recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Redsie

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup 1% low-fat milk
1/4 cup orange juice
1/8 teaspoon orange oil or 1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 cup fresh cranberries (chopped, for a slightly "tarter" muffin) or 1 cup frozen cranberries (chopped, for a slightly "tarter" muffin)
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts or 1/4 cup pecans
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Batter: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt, then toss the cranberries in the mix and stir to coat.
  • In a separate bowl, or in a large measuring cup, whisk together the egg, oil, milk, orange juice, and orange oil or peel. Gently and thoroughly mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
  • Using a muffin or cookie scoop, or a 1/4-cup measure, pour the batter into 12 lightly greased muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
  • Topping: Combine all of the topping ingredients. Sprinkle a scant 1 tablespoon of topping over the batter in each muffin cup.
  • Baking: Bake the muffins in a preheated 400°F oven for 20 minutes, or until they're nicely domed and a cake tester inserted into the center of one comes out clean.
  • Remove the muffins from the oven, and run a knife around the edge of each one to separate it from the pan. Carefully tilt each muffin in its cup so steam doesn't collect underneath as they cool. After about 5 minutes, transfer them to a rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe cranberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have any orange zest, you can substitute lemon zest or lime zest.
  • Be sure to toast the pecans before adding them to the streusel topping. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • If you don't have any rolled oats, you can substitute quick oats or old-fashioned oats.
  • Be careful not to overmix the streusel topping. You want it to be crumbly, not doughy.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use an 8x8 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Let the cranberry crunch cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the streusel topping to set.

Conclusion:

Cranberry crunch is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. Whether you like it tart or sweet, with nuts or without, cranberry crunch is sure to be a hit.
