Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss apple slices with cranberries and 1.5 tbsp sugar in a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix oats, flour, remaining 1.5 tbsp sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Cut cold butter into the oat mixture using your fingers until it looks like coarse breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Spread the topping evenly over the apples. Bake 12 minutes until the top is golden and apples soften.
Step 5
Let cool 2 minutes. Serve warm as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
