Instructions
- Prepare a 9×9 baking pan with cooking spray or parchment paper and preheat the oven to 375F
- Heat a sauce pan over medium heat. Wash cranberries then add in the sauce pan along with water, Monk Fruit sweetener, vanilla extract and lemon juice. Allow mixture to heat for 3 minutes, then add the xanthan gum, stir until combined and cook until the mixture becomes thick. Remove from heat and set to the side.
- In a food processor, add all of the ingredients for the crust and process until mixture becomes a dough consistency. Make sure not to over mix. Transfer the dough to the 9x9 baking pan and spread out until it covers the bottom of the pan completely. Pour the cranberry filling over the top of the dough and spread out until there is an even layer.
- In the food processor, add the crumble ingredients and pulse until it becomes a crumble texture. Spread evenly over the filling and transfer to the oven. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until the top is browned and middle is set.
