Serving it warm is no hardship at all if it tastes as good as it looks! I love the red ruby like cranberries and the blanket of snow in the dish-lovely!

Now if only there were a sugar-free version of this… it looks so wonderful, but off-limits to my family of diabetics and dieters. How can we adapt it? Or is this one of those desserts that’s best left as is, and those who can’t eat it should simply make something else?

Good gravy it even looks great before it’s baked….HELP! I wonder if I could add some chocolate. Seriously, it looks to be yet another winner and I’m heading to the grocery store.

Noble Pig – Thank you!

Lorraine – I know :-) It’s not like being told, “Serve it warm,” is a stretch, now is it?!

Lydia – That is such a good question, and one I don’t have all the answers for. My instinct tells me (between the granulated sugar & brown sugar), that it’s best to leave this one alone and serve something else for the diabetics or serious dieters, because you really do need the extra sweetness to cut the tartness of the cranberries and liven up the oats.

That said, I believe you could cut back on the granulated sugar to 1/3 or 1/2 cup and still get away with it, but I (personally) wouldn’t cut back on the brown sugar amount at all. I know many diabetics bakers make substitutions with baking Splenda or other sweeteners such as Stevia, but I can’t comment as to how those products would substitute because I have never baked with them. Perhaps someone who regularly cooks desserts adhering to diabetic guidelines would like to try converting this recipe and reporting back? (Hint, hint)

Denise – I thought the same thing while baking this dessert & taking these photos, “This looks fabulous and I haven’t even baked it yet!” Have fun at the grocery (it’s one of my favorite places to shop)!

Mental Mama – No, but this is one of those desserts where it’s best to exercise some portion control, especially if you are dieting!

That looks lovely! I love desserts like this that have loits of different textures! We don’t use cranberries in Europe as much as we should!

This sounds like my kind of dessert and I absolutely love the plated (er, glassed?) photos. Its difficult to make something as rustic as a crumble look so sophisticated.

may it never be said that i have deprived myself of anything food-related. :)
yes, warm is definitely best. the vanilla ice cream i would most definitely add would then melt slowly rather than immediately melting into a pool. :)

We served the Apple Cranberry Crumble this AM to our guests, along with our Bacon, Egg and Cheese pizza and sliced kiwi…WHAT A HIT! They all commented how decadent it was to have dessert for breakfast (as they scraped every last bit up with their spoons!) Thanks so much for sharing an awesome recipe…it definitely will go on the repeat menu at Aska Lodge!

This is comfort X2…the checkered table cloth and crisps are log-cabin cozy food.

I would not complain about having that for breakfast at all. Looks awesome!

We were served this decadent dish along with Breakfast Panini at the Aska Lodge B&B in Blue Ridge, Georgia. It was served in a white souffle cup with a little “melon size scoop” of vanilla ice cream! It was….incredible!!! I will be definitely serving this at home to family and guests!

What a delicious dessert for Thanksgiving also! Thanks for sharing this gem!

I made this today….had a bag of cranberries left and wanted to make something new for dessert. It was awesome. My uncle said it was scrumptous! I have never heard him use a word that big! Anyway I am now hooked on your website and will be checking here often for new recipes.
