Let’s Make Cranberry Apple Crisp

2. Spray a large shallow baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

5. Add the topping ingredients to another bowl and with a pastry cutter or your fingers mix the butter with the other ingredients. The topping mix will be chunky.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

• If you don’t have fresh cranberries, use frozen thawed cranberries.
• Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
• Shopping tip: Fresh cranberry goes on sale at the end of the holiday season; I recommend buying several bags and storing them in the freezer. They will last the entire year.
