A comforting and flavorful baked cranberry and apple dish, perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the dish.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.
Thin slices cook more evenly and absorb flavors better.
In a mixing bowl, combine the apple slices, cranberries, cinnamon, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix well to coat evenly.
Ensure all the fruit is well-coated for a consistent flavor.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread it out evenly.
An even layer ensures uniform baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the cranberries have burst.
Check for doneness by piercing an apple slice with a fork; it should be soft.
Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with a dollop of plain yogurt.
For a sweeter touch, drizzle with honey or maple syrup.
