This cranberry crumble recipe is so delicious to make when cranberries are in season! It's easy to make and the perfect holiday dessert to use fresh cranberries.

This cranberry crumble recipe uses fresh cranberries, orange, and sugar, to make a dessert that is perfectly tart, sweet, and delicious.

I love it because this cranberry crisp is just full of holiday flavors! It's a delicious and festive dessert for the holidays that's not overly sweet. The cranberries and orange juice and zest help the crisp be tart, while the crumble topping helps with a nice sweetness.

I personally love the tartness, because I don't like my desserts overly sweet. If you want a cranberry crumble that is sweeter, you can either make sure you're serving with ice cream, sweetened whipped cream, or you can add more sugar to the filling! We dropped some off at my mom's house (she has a sweet tooth), and she said served with ice cream, this was perfect for her!

Where can you find fresh cranberries?

Cranberries can be hard to find normally, but close to the holidays they start showing up! You can find them in the fresh produce section of your grocery store. I've been getting a ton this holiday season to make in desserts like this cranberry crumble and in cranberry simple syrup so I can make mocktails like this cranberry fizz mocktail.

How do you zest an orange?

Zesting an orange is so easy! Simply use a microplane like this to zest your orange. The zest is the orange part of the peel. You don't zest the white part, because that is the pith and is bitter. You only want the orange part.

I love having a microplane. I use it for lemon, lime, and orange zest. I also use it to get freshly shaved parmesan cheese. And it's perfect for grating garlic and ginger, too! It's one of my must-have kitchen tools.

How to serve:

I absolutely love this cranberry crumble served with vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream. I like to flavor my whipped cream with sugar and a little bit of almond or vanilla extract. You can also serve holiday dessert with this cinnamon whipped cream.

How to make:

Next, in a large bowl, add your washed cranberries, orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and brown sugar.

In a medium bowl, add the room temperature butter, flour, and brown sugar. Press together with a fork until mixed together and crumbly. This will be the topping for your cranberry crumble. Sprinkle over the top of the cranberries.
