Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 x 11 inch baking dish or 9" round deep pie pan. In a large bowl, combine apple slices and cranberries. In a small bowl, combine Splenda, cinnamon, and flour. Mix with apples and cranberries. Spoon into baking pan. In a small bowl, combine topping ingredients and sprinkle on top of apples. Bake for 60 - 70 minutes or until apples and cranberries are tender.
To prepare sauce, combine sugar and water in a small heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar is dissolved. Continue to boil over medium-hot heat, without stirring, until mixture turns to a caramel colored brown. Remove from heat and gradually stir in 1/2 cup half and half. Return to heat, stirring constantly until sugar mixture dissolves. Mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoon half and half. Stir into pan and bring to a rolling boil. Add butter and stir until dissolved.
Remove from heat. Add Southern Comfort or brandy if desired. When ready to serve, spoon sauce over individual servings of apple crisp.
