Update: I recommend my pear and cranberry crisp recipe over this BHG recipe. Sorry, BHG! Find my recipe, which includes an option for substituting apples for the pears, over here.
Did you get your fill of pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving? Excellent! I’ll be back later this week with a holiday recap, but in the meantime, please make some room for this apple cranberry crisp. It’s lighter than most holiday sweets, which I appreciate, and full of beautiful fall produce, which means that you can totally justify eating this dessert for breakfast. Please do.
You can find my notes, along with some ramblings on my sorry baking skills and my deep adoration for cranberries on BHG’s new Delish Dish blog. I’ll be guest blogging over there for the next few months, along with five marvelous food bloggers and members of the Better Homes and Gardens’ staff. We’ll be talking about our favorite in-season produce, magic ingredients and cooking tips.
Vegetable enthusiast. Dog lover. I'm probably making a big mess in my Kansas City kitchen right now.

I made this EXACT SAME thing last week for my sick friend with honeycrisps! We’re in sync girlie! Excited about checking you out on BHG!
Debbie
I’m going to make this for my cooking club next week. A perfect recipe for the theme “Christmas Comforts.”
I was sad to see you had moved from Oklahoma. I found you too late. I’m on the lookout for “someone special” for my son here in Norman. Rats! :)
Kate
Hope your club enjoys the crisp, Debbie! Best wishes to your son. Dating in Norman post college is no easy feat!

I have not thought about putting cranberries with apples but what a great combination for this Christmas season. Your Apple Cranberry Crisp looks wonderful. Blessings, Diane Roark www.recipesforourdailybread.com I blog about our family’s favorite recipes, vacations, and more. Visit anytime!

Yum Kate! Crisps are totally one of those desserts that you can make lighter and enjoy just as much as the more indulgent version. This one looks like a winner!
claire @ the realist
Gorgeous!
Kathryn
Apple & cranberry is my favourite combo ever – I would love a bowl of this for breakfast tomorrow morning!
Katrina
Totally into this. Yum!

I’m not sure I’ll EVER get enough pumpkin pie, but I’ll gladly take some of this too while I give my hands a chance to lose their orange tint (thanks to pumpkin, carrots, and butternut squash!!) Can’t wait to check you out on BHG!
Kate
Don’t get me wrong, I do love those orange vegetables! Hope you’ll give this dessert a try, Angela.
Laura (Tutti Dolci)
I’m all about a fruit crisp for breakfast!

Lovely! I love apple cranberry crisp. It’s such a nice combination. Beautiful pictures, too. :)

Hi! I would love to see this recipe but the link to the delish blog isn’t working :-( help please?
Kate
I’m sorry about that, Lia. The link seems to be working now: http://www.bhg.com/blogs/delish-dish/2012/11/28/in-season-eats-apple-cranberry-crisp/. Actually, for a better result, I’d recommend replacing the fruit in my strawberry rhubarb crisp with mostly pears and some fresh cranberries: https://cookieandkate.com/2013/strawberry-rhubarb-crisp/. BHG’s crisp wasn’t quite right.
Kate
And by pears, I meant apples!
