Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • pinch salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup quick cooking oats
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, softened, cut in 12 pieces
  • 1 cup applesauce
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
  • pinch nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Line a brownie pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the sides; set aside. If not using parchment paper, you can also grease the pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda, oats and light brown sugar; mix using a whisk until thoroughly combined.
  • Add pieces of butter to the mix; cut in the butter using a pastry blender, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbles. You can also cut in the butter with a fork or use your hands.
  • In a separate mixing bowl combine applesauce, cranberries, and spices; mix until combined.
  • Set aside 1-cup of the crumbles mixture.
  • Transfer the rest of the crumbles mixture to the previously prepared baking pan; press it evenly onto the bottom of the pan.
  • Bake in the oven for 8 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes.
  • Add the applesauce mixture over the baked crust.
  • Sprinkle the reserved crumbles mixture over the top.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  • Cool completely in the pan.
  • Remove from pan.
  • Cut and serve.
