A few years ago, I tasted the most delicious apple cranberry crisp at my friend’s Thanksgiving feast, and she kindly gave me some leftovers. I’m not ashamed to admit that I went home and ate a few more spoonfuls, even though I was stuffed. It was that good!
Recently, it dawned on me that I’ve never tried making my own apple cranberry crisp, so I went in search of the perfect recipe. You might be wondering why I simply wouldn’t ask my friend for her recipe. Well, it wasn’t her recipe to give. She catered her Thanksgiving feast! 😀
I searched high and low (okay, I just went to foodgawker) and selected this simple, but tasty apple cranberry crisp. I actually felt bad that I waited so long to make this easy and delectable dessert. A mistake I won’t repeat because this baby is a keeper! I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin pie, so this is a great addition to your dessert table for those who want something a little tart, a little sweet and a whole lot of yummy for dessert.
