Cranberry Pecan Apple Crumble Recipe

Fall weather means it’s apple season, and this warm crumble is the perfect way to celebrate! (Bonus: your kitchen will smell amazing.) For the topping, get a head start on flavor by using a gluten-free granola that’s studded with chewy cranberries and roasted pecans, plus liquid coconut oil that means no melting required. Although it’ll be tempting to dig in right away, let the skillet cool for a few minutes after pulling it from the oven. While you wait, stick a tub of ice cream on the counter and let it soften so you can serve this dessert à la mode.
