Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet. Lightly brush each slice with olive oil and toast for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
Heat cranberries in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until they start to burst.
Stir in honey or maple syrup and cook until syrupy for another 2-3 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
