Apple Cranberry Crisp
Nothing says autumn comfort like a warm apple cranberry crisp. The combination of tart cranberries with sweet apples creates a delightful balance, complemented by the hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. The topping is buttery and crisp, making it a satisfying treat on a cool evening.
For variety, you can switch up the apples with your favorite type, or even add some chopped pecans to the topping for an extra crunch. Using a mix of brown and white sugars in the topping can add depth to the sweetness.
Serve this crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It's perfect for gatherings, Thanksgiving dinners, or just a simple dessert to enjoy after a hearty meal.
