    Apple Cranberry Crisp

    Recipe Introduction


    The sweet cinnamon aroma that fills the house while this timeless dessert bakes in the oven is a perfect way to welcome in the New Year. Apples are the fruit of the Goddess, and one of the true pleasures of the harvest season. Crisp tart Granny Smiths are my favorite apples to use in baking.

    (But Macs or Golden Delicious will do just fine.)


    List of Ingredients




    2 lb. tart crisp apples, such as Granny Smith
    1/4 cup apple juice
    squeeze of lemon juice
    1/2 cup cranberries (or dried, sweetened are fine)
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    1 tsp. cinnamon
    1/2 tsp. allspice
    pinch nutmeg
    pinch sea salt
    1/2 cup unbleached flour
    1/2 cup rolled oats
    1/2 cup crushed ginger snaps
    1/4 cup brown sugar
    1 tsp. cinnamon
    1 stick unsalted butter or margarine

    Recipe



    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

    Peel, core and slice the apples. In a large mixing bowl combine the apples with the apple juice, lemon juice, cranberries, brown sugar, spices and sea salt. Pour into a greased baking dish.

    To make the topping, mix together the flour, oats, crushed ginger snaps, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut in dabs of the chilled butter, making a moist crumbly mixture. Spoon the topping over the apples. Cover the dish with a piece of foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking for 30 minutes until the apples are tender, and the topping is crisp and golden brown.

    Serve warm, with a freshly brewed pot of clove and orange tea.

    Serves 4-6
