    Apples & cranberries are such a festive combination in this delicious Apple Cranberry Crisp!

    Apple Cranberry Crisp

    I have to say that I’m totally in the mood for any and all comfort foods. Not just because of the holidays, but the weather has turned cold and damp and that’s what I crave when it’s like this, how about you? I think most of us are the same about this sort of thing!

    So yesterday I made this Apple Cranberry Crisp and it filled the house with those scents that baking always does and warmed the kitchen at the same time.  It smelled so delicious in all its bubbling glory when I took it out of the oven.

    Cranberries, Cranberries…

    You noticed that I added cranberries to my apple crisp? Something about this time of year does it to me every time. I want to put cranberries in everything. Probably because they’re in season here in the US and also because they make everything you cook seem that much more festive!

    Besides those above mentioned things, I totally love the combination of sweet and tart. Whether it’s in a cranberry bread, a cranberry relish or in an apple crisp, I think cranberries combine well with sweet elements and add that pop of flavor. *Note* If you’re unable to get cranberries, I think tart pie cherries, fresh or frozen, would be a good substitution.

    This Crisp is really good warm as a dessert and I think it would be good either warm or room temperature for a brunch. Something my family has done over the years is to have apple crisp with plain yogurt for breakfast – yummy stuff!

    And, actually, I had this the day after I made it and I think it was even more tasty because the flavors had time to mingle – kinda like cold pizza the next day! Lol! (I wish I had a emoji right about now)

    I made this Apple Cranberry Crisp vegan by substituting olive oil for butter and I used coconut sugar for the sweetener and it turned out great. The coconut sugar is dark like brown sugar and it makes those oozing bubbles that rich brown color.

    In the recipe below, I added the butter option if you prefer to make the crisp using butter. Either way, I think it’s a winner!
