As the week continues, today is a favorite dessert of my family. Today, I'm sharing my Apple Cranberry Crisp. Fresh apples and cranberries make an amazing base for this fruit crisp.
Making a crisp is super easy and when making any meal, a fruit crisp is always an easy dessert.
When Thanksgiving and Christmas come around, this Apple Cranberry Crisp is a perfect dessert to serve or bring to a family or Friendsgiving event.
You get all the fabulous flavors of an apple pie, but with little work.
A perfect dessert for any night, but for the Holidays, fabulous.
Tips to make Apple Cranberry Crisp:
- Cut the apples in 1 inch slices. This prevents mushy fruit as it cooks.
- Gluten-Free: Use a 1 to 1 gluten-free flour such as King Arthur's.
- Make ahead: Cover the crisp with aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator. Serve the next day.
- You can use frozen cranberries instead of fresh cranberries.
