After last’s week’s Chocolate Caramel Chestnut Torte, I was ready for a break. What a project! But this week’s Cran-Apple Crisps were just what the doctor ordered. Easy to put together. Too easy to eat.
Most all of us have experienced apple crisp since grade school. The addition of cranberries brought some welcome sophistication without extra work.
No substitutions or changes this week. Straight by the recipe. Love the ginger and coconut in the crumbly topping. Sprinkled over the lightly sweetened apples and fresh cranberries, it is the perfect topper for the colorful fruit mixture.
While I liked the crisp by itself, I tried a spoonful with my daily portion of homemade nonfat Greek yogurt. Wow! That has habit-forming potential. The mild, creamy yogurt is the perfect straight man for the spunky fruit crisp.

Your crisps look wonderful! I bet the addition of the greek yogurt was fantastic. Those ramekins look perfect for this!
Wow, I wish I had thought that idea! The smooth, cool yogurt combined with the crunch of the crisp must have been fantasic.

Your crisp looks delicious, especially with the yogurt. What great dishes you baked it in!
Your little yellow dishes are perfect for this. Great photo with all the deep red cranberries.
I made this one last week. We loved it! Yours are gorgeous.
I love the containers that your crisps are in.
They are just adorable.
I made one large one, but I haven’t baked it yet because I want it warm for supper tonight.
Gorgeous photos. I want those little containers. I must have them they are so cute. The crisp looks wonderful too. I’m planning on making this next weekend.
Your crisps look yummy. Beautiful pictures!
yum yum!! you know, I actually didn’t try my first homemade crisp until I joined TWD. Isn’t THAT a kick in the head? ha ha.
Yum your crisp looks so good and I love that you put some greek yogurt with it ..that is the best sruff!
Homemade yogurt takes this recipe to a whole other level. Beautifully done!
I made these this week as well and they were AMAZING! I absolutely love your little pots! I’ve been eying these for months after going to dinner and having them serve part of my entree in one of these. To cute! Love your photos!
Mmm, I’ll bet that yogurt tasted wonderful with the crisp. Good idea!
Your photos are amazing. Love the little pots/dishes you baked yours in. Just darling. I am trying to hold off till Thanksgiving for this one, but everyone’s looks so good I may have to try it before then.
Beautiful photos. Didn’t you enjoy this homey and familiar group of flavors? I did too. Yep, I imagine after that chocolate chestnut cake this was a relief. hehe

Those little gratins or ramekins are just the best! Love them – and the perfect serving dish for these. LOVED this – and so glad you enjoyed it too – that yogurt addition sounds even better! I especially love the prep photos – so nice to see!
Love those little bowls. Just right for Dorie’s crisp – which are beautiful. These were soo good and soo simple to put together.
