Cranberry Apple Crisp #CranberryWeek

Cranberry Apple Crisp blends tart cranberries with fresh apples for an exciting holiday twist. Buttery sugar crumb topping brings it all together.

Cranberry Apple Crisp

My mom used to make apple crisp every fall. Back then, there was such a thing as seasonal fruit. We needed to wait until the apples were ripe.

I’d pick McIntosh apples from the neighbor’s tree to add to her favorite apple, Red Delicious. Mom would core, pare and toss the slices in salt and cinnamon to draw our the natural juices.

Now if you ever baked with Red Delicious apples you know where I’m going.
Sugar rush for sure!

So I recommend a less sweet but firm apple like the new cross varieties derived from Gala, Honeycrisp, Fuji and McIntosh. Even some Granny Smith to tone it down if needed.

I also prefer mine as a deep dish version with a thick crust. I use an 8 x 6 x 2-inch glass dish. It’s like a deep dish apple crumb pie without the crust!

Because this is also a cranberry recipe I added brown sugar to balance the cranberry bite.
