The combination of apples and fresh cranberries in this apple-cranberry crisp is wonderful, and it is finished with a crunchy pecan topping. With a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, serve warm or at room temperature.

Loved this! I used less apples and more cranberries, but basically kept the other ratios the same. I like it a little tart so it was perfect.
My family and friends raved about this!!! I had some frozen cranberries and could use them up. With apples in season worked out. The pecans added flavor and crunch. Friends requesting recipe!!
Ha! I just noticed the recipe called for 2 pounds apples, not 2 like I did but it still was very good. Just a bit too much cinnamon for me (or maybe not enough apples)
Loved it except for the pecans. Next time, I’ll leave those out.
Delicious!! I had extra crans I needed to use up, so I roughly doubled the cranberries and halved the amount of apples used. I would recommend putting in a little less cinnamon (esp if using fewer apples).
Love, Love, Love!
I liked the flavor of the sweet apples and tart cranberries. The crisp was too dry for my taste. I doubled the butter so it was crispy without being sandy dry.
Just used a little less sugar for the crumb topping. I used dried cranberries which worked well. Delicious!!!
Wonderful! This will be my go-to for crisps from now on!
It was delicious! I’ll make it again.
I really enjoyed this even though I thought it had a bit too much cinnamon. Next time I will use a bit less.
My husband, mother-in-law and I loved this recipe. I made it pretty much as described except for using a non-dairy butter and spraying the baking dish with cooking spray instead of using butter. Served with vanilla ice cream. Absolutely delicious!
I added Lipton onion soup mix to the broth and included some cauliflower and celery because I had it on hand. Added a splash of white wine. Very good!!!!
I amended this recipe a bit, per a few other reviews. I doubled the cranberries, (added the perfect amount of tartness) but still used 4 large Granny Smith apples. I doubled the crisp topping and, added about about two table spoons extra butter. I made this as one of our Thanksgiving desserts. It turned out amazing!!! It was the first to be devoured. My husband, and teenage boys ate it all the same day! ?(^?^)?
Really good! Reviews say it has too much cinnamon, but i think it’s delicious! 4 stars because, as most recipes are, it needs slight changes because it’s not completely perfect. I do think it’s great for holidays with a bunch of people. I’m only 12 years old and I was able to make this and have everyone adore it! I think that’s an accomplishment. Thanks to the creator for such a wonderful recipe.
Excellent, but note that I did make a few changes mostly based on what I had on hand. I used a combination of honeycrisp and Jonathan apples and walnuts instead of pecans. Because I love cranberries I doubled (at least!) the number of cranberries and so increased the sugar inside the crisp by about a tablespoon or so. I was out of nutmeg and didn’t miss it, but I’m guessing it would be great with it.
Great holiday flavored dessert! I followed suggestions and doubled the topping and cranberries, it was great!
Hubby gave this dessert 5 stars! It is great as it stands or it is easy to modify depending on what ingredients you have on hand. I made a 9×13 pan full, increasing the recipe accordingly. Since I only had 5 large Granny Smith’s, I added a can of unsweetened apple pie filling. Then realizing I was out of pecans, I substituted sliced almonds. It was delicious warm with ice cream! It is hard to mess this recipe up. Great fruit combination!
I made this as is, and it is excellent! I found it a tad sweet, so next time I may cut back on the white sugar.
This was amazing!!! I had gala apples not Granny Smith but I used a full cup of cranberries. I actually was craving rhubarb crisp but it’s not exactly rhubarb season here in Alberta. I made this for dessert after easter dinner and wow. I will definitely make this again! I made no changes to the recipe as others did, (other than the different type of apple) and the spices and flavours were perfectly balanced, I wouldn’t change a thing! Thank you for sharing.
The cranberries make this dessert pop! Loved it.
