Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash and pick over 1 cup of fresh or frozen cranberries, then cut them into small pieces.
  2. Grate the rind from half an orange to add aromatic zest to the dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, and brown sugar.
  4. Cut in the softened butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges or chunks.
  6. Arrange the apple slices evenly on the bottom of a microwave-safe 6-cup baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle the prepared cranberries and grated orange rind evenly over the apples.
  8. Top the fruit mixture with the oat crumb topping, spreading it evenly.
  9. Microwave uncovered on High (100%) for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
  10. Let stand for 2 minutes before serving to allow the topping to set slightly.
