So this week I continued the pattern of baking November’s recipes out of order, and made Cran-Apple Crisps (picked by Em of The Repressed Pastry Chef). I LOVE crisps. I love them all year – that’s the beauty of them! You can work with just about any seasonal fruits, top it off with a buttery-cinnamony-oaty streusel topping and voila! Perfection.
I halved the filling for this recipe, but made all of the topping (woops…now it’s sitting in the fridge calling to me to come take a little nugget), and baked it in one dish rather than individual dishes. It smelled divine while it was baking…and I think the end result was pretty good! I loved the topping, my only (minor) criticism is that the apples mushed up a bit more than I’d like. I used lovely tart Braeburn apples, so next time I could either try Granny Smiths or maybe bake it for a little less time or maybe even cut them in slightly bigger cubes?
Quick update: I tried some cold last night after it had been in the fridge, and I LOVED it. 
i love the big chunks of crisp you’ve got in yours. yummy.
Yum it looks very good! Im glad you liked it cold!
It looks SO GOOD! I’m going to make it again for Thanksgiving. So easy and delicious.
We found the crisp made a great breakfast. Glad you enjoyed!
