Tart cranberries and tender spiced apples bubbling beneath a golden, coconut-kissed crumble — this is the kind of dessert that makes the whole kitchen smell like a fall afternoon. Every bit of sweetness here comes from pure maple syrup, so you can enjoy every bite without worrying about hidden corn-derived sweeteners sneaking in through the filling or the topping. Arrowroot starch thickens the fruit layer beautifully, while a warm blend of Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric gives the filling a depth that goes well beyond a standard fruit crisp. The crumble itself is built on cassava flour and tapioca starch, cut with solid coconut oil until it forms those irresistible coarse, clumpy crumbs that bake up crisp at the edges and slightly chewy in the center. Shredded coconut folded into the topping adds a subtle nuttiness that pairs perfectly with the bright pop of cranberry. Let it rest for a few minutes after it comes out of the oven and the filling will set into something almost jammy — perfect spooned into a bowl on its own or alongside your favorite dairy-free scoop.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish with a small amount of coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, cranberries, 3 tbsp maple syrup, arrowroot starch, 1 tsp Ceylon cinnamon, ground ginger, ground turmeric, and lemon juice. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated and the arrowroot is fully dissolved into the mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.
