    Don't you just love those festive colors?

    Cranberry Apple Crisp

    Once I get over the initial shock at the sudden change in weather, Fall is definitely my favorite season.

    It's a wee bit cold and a wee bit rainy, so you are totally justified in wearing yoga pants and getting all snuggled up on the sofa when it gets dark.

    But you can still venture outside during the day without completely freezing your butt off. Everything smells of cinnamon and cloves, and although I lament the loss of summer stone fruit I'm starting to believe that baked apples make up for it (almost).

    Serving Suggestions

    This cranberry apple crisp recipe is easy, and the preparation time is super quick. Just throw everything together and pop it in the oven, let it get all gooey for a while and you have the perfect dessert when paired with some ice cream.

    On the other hand, it is free from refined sugar, so you can totally justify eating it for breakfast if you pair it with some yogurt!

    Cranberry Apple Crisp

    I have made this many a time for holiday potlucks and it is always very well received by kids and adults alike. It gets the 'oohs' and 'aahs' I love to hear  (have I mentioned I am a sucker for compliments) and it makes for a great festive centerpiece with all of the beautiful Fall colors going on.  

    Added bonus - it is a great way to use up that leftover cranberry relish which tends to languish at the back of the fridge after the Holidays!

    Waste not want not  🙂

    Hello and welcome, I'm Donna!

    I am so glad you are here!

    Since I have a part-time job, 3 little kids, and a love of good food (as do you I assume), I have learned how to get the most out of the kitchen in the smallest amount of time.

    Forget about hunting down weird ingredients and making trips to specialty shops.

    We are going to make the most of what is available at the store and farmer's markets all whilst enjoying some delicious meals the whole family (hopefully...if you have fussy eaters I guarantee nothing) will enjoy.

    Pop on that apron and let's get creative in the kitchen!
