Apple Cranberry Crisp Recipe

Recipes that are simple and quick can inspire you to spend more time in your kitchen, especially when they produce scrumptious results. For your holiday table this year, consider baking this easy Apple Cranberry Crisp recipe instead of opening a can of store bought cranberries. It doesn't require a large number of ingredients and your guests will be pleasantly surprised when you serve cranberries in the form of this sweet treat.

Apple Cranberry Crisp Recipe Ingredients:

5 cups of your favorite apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup freshly packaged cranberries
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or you can use the same measurement of apple pie spice
1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or apple pie spice for your second step
2 tablespoons butter

Directions:

First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees and using a 2-quart baking dish, combine cranberries and apples. In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar along with the 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice or cinnamon. Lightly sprinkle this mixture over your apple and cranberry combination covering all of the fruit.

Next, using a small bowl, mix together oats, packed brown sugar, flour and the additional 1/2 teaspoon of the apple pie spice or ground cinnamon. Add the butter into the dry ingredients and with your pastry cutter rock the device back and forth while lifting slightly to create your crumbly consistency. If you don't have a pastry cutter, then a fork can be used to smash the butter into the dry ingredients creating the same crumbly mixture. Sprinkle this combination over the fruit and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The apples should be tender. However, depending on your elevation and oven it could take a little longer, so check your apples for firmness before serving.

This dish is a treat for the taste buds when served plain, but if you top the finished product with a spiced whipping cream, you will have created a rich tasty dessert.

Recipe For Spiced Whipping Cream

1 cup chilled heavy cream
1 tablespoon powder sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Whip cream, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg with your hand mixer on medium-low until foamy, or for about 30 seconds. Increase the mixing speed to medium-high until the cream stiffens. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve your crisp.

This Cranberry Apple Crisp recipe is sure to become part of your holiday traditions. Also, you can vary the recipe by adding crunchy chopped pecans into the crumbly mixture and this will crisp the topping even more.

Low Fat Apple Crisp Recipe

Not many people can resist the aroma and flavor of apple cinnamon. Whether it comes in the form of a homemade apple pie or an apple crisp, it is a taste combination that's hard to beat. Apple crisp is a fall favorite and you don't have to it pass up if you are trying to lose weight or are an avid calorie counter. This low fat apple crisp recipe uses granola for the topping and only a fraction of the flour found in a traditional recipe. This version is not only lower in fat but has fewer calories because it calls for less sugar and requires whole-wheat flour versus regular all-purpose four. As an added plus, you don't have to be seasoned cook to make this easy recipe.


Ingredients

1-1/2 cups unsweetened apple juice

3 to 3-1/2 pounds of Granny Smith, Gala, or Honeycrisp apples cut into large cubes

1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice

1 cup golden raisins

1 cup packed dark brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

3 tablespoons whole-wheat flour

6 crunch granola bars, crumbled (approximately 2 cups of granola)*

1/3 cup butter or butter substitute, softened


*If the granola bars are difficult to crumble into small pieces by hand, use a food processor and pulse a few times until they are crumbled.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Use a small saucepan and boil the apple juice so that about half of the original 1-1/2 cups is remaining. Allow it to cool.

3. Combine the cubed apples, apple juice, lemon juice raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl.

4. Pour the apple mixture into a 9-inch by 9-inch baking pan coated with cooking spray.

5. For the topping, put the crumbled granola, flour, and softened butter in a bowl and use a fork to mix them together well.

6. Spread the granola mixture evenly over the top of the apples.

7. Bake for 45 minutes or into the topping is crispy and brown. Cool slightly before serving.


Conclusion

Since our goal was for a low fat version of the traditional dessert, skip the usual scoop of ice cream on top and use a couple of tablespoons of frozen vanilla yogurt.


Instead of all one type of apple, you can use half tart green apples like Granny Smith and the other half a sweeter variety like the Honeycrisp.


Just as with a traditional recipe you can mix other fruits into your low fat apple crisp. For instance, if you are not a big raisin fan, substitute cranberry raisins for the golden raisins in this recipe.

Old Fashioned Apple Crisp Recipe

Some of my best memories are when my mother would make her old fashioned apple crisp recipe, filling the house with the smell of cinnamon. Since I had watched my grandmother make this homemade wonder as well, I assumed it was the same recipe handed down over years. As it turns out, my mom had her own version that was slightly different than grandmothers. Even though apple crisp has been found in cookbooks since 1924, I've never known two people to make it exactly the same way. The principal is the same, though baked apples smothered in a crispy cinnamon crust.

No matter whose recipe you use, this favorite dessert is easy to make much easier than making an apple pie or cobbler. There is no crust to struggle over and after the apples are peeled and sliced, it takes about 10 minutes to make.

Ingredients

6 tart green apples like Granny Smith
6 sweet, crisp apples like Braeburn
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup of flour
2 cups rolled oats
1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1-1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
1-1/2 cups butter, softened

Instructions:

1. Peel, core, and slice the apples.
2. Combine apples in a large bowl with the teaspoon of vanilla.
3. Mix together the flour, oatmeal, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar.
4. Add the softened butter to the dry mixture and cut it in using two knives until it is crumbly.
5. Pour the apples into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish that has been coated with cooking spray.
6. Spread the topping evenly over the top, making sure it covers the apples well.
7. Bade at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes and the apples are tender.
8. Serve warm with ice cream or whip cream.

Conclusions:
The great thing about an old fashioned apple crisp recipe is that there are a lot of little changes you can make to make it stand out from the typical apple crisp. For this recipe, replace about 1/3 of the apples with an equal amount of cranberries for an apple cranberry crisp. There is other fruit you can substitute for the apples. You can use half apple and half peach or half blackberry. Once you are an apple crisp expert, experiment with the type of apple you use - all tart green apples or all sweet. Just make sure they are crispy. A soft apple makes an apple crisp a little mushy.

How To Spice Up You Apple Crisp
There is a lot you can do to spice up a standard apple crisp recipe. The addition of another fruit is a fairly common variation. Two favorite additions are the peach and the blackberry. Instead of all apples you can use both apples and cranberries at a ratio of 3 cups to 2 for a delicious apple cranberry crisp.

Once you are confident you know how to make an apple crisp, you can experiment with the apples you use. If you prefer a more tart apple crisp, use all Granny Smith apples. You can also use 6 Granny Smith combined with a crisp sweet apple like Gala or Braeburn.
