Cranberry Apple Crisp ~
An easy dessert that celebrates the flavors of fall with sweet apples, tart cranberries, seasonal spices, and a buttery oat topping!
Apple Crisp has always been a favorite fall dessert with my family. We love the warm, cinnamony apples and crumbly brown sugar topping.
This apple crisp is similar to the classic version but with the festive addition of cranberries, perfect for the Thanksgiving or Christmas dessert table.
Cranberries don’t have to be exclusive to the holiday season though. I like to stock up on fresh cranberries in the fall then store them in the freezer. That way I’ve got cranberries ready to go all year long!
