Yields: 8 servings

Ingredients

For the filling:

  • 1 1/2 pounds peeled and cubed Granny smith apples (680g; about 6 heaping cups, or 4-5 medium large apples)
  • 12 ounces peeled and cubed Bosc or Anjou pears (360g; about 3 heaping cups, or 3 medium pears)
  • 12 ounces fresh cranberries (360g)
  • 1 tablespoons orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (60ml)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2-3/4 cup cane sugar (100-150g; to taste—I like a full 3/4 cup to counterbalance the tart cranberries, but you can use 1/2 cup if you prefer desserts that are less sweet)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • pinch salt
  • 1 batch 5 Minute Vegan Streusel Topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and lightly oil a 9" x 13" rectangular pan.
  • Add the apples, pears, lemon and orange zest and juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and a pinch of salt to a large mixing bowl. Mix well, then transfer that filling to your prepared rectangular baker.
  • Prepare the streusel topping as directed, if you haven't made it ahead of time. Distribute the full batch of streusel topping over the fruit.
  • Transfer the baking dish to your oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is a deep golden color. Serve with ice cream or vegan whipped cream, if desired.
