Oh, children and the things they will say. Like “My mom says you can’t come over ’cause you’re a bad influence” to a friend’s daughter. OH THE HORROR.
So after eating some crow, I barely had room for dessert. But I had made these Cran-Apple Crisps for Tuesdays with Dorie and I had to make room, and I’m glad I did.
These lovely crisps are made with fresh apples and fresh and dried cranberries. I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Honey Crisp (my new favorite) apples. The only change I made was to use walnuts in the crisp mixture instead of coconut, which I thought made a great substitution.
The sweet apples and tart cranberries were very tasty together in these crisps, and a scoop of ice cream added just a little more sweetness. I highly recommend it.
This Tuesdays with Dorie pick was brought to you by Em of The Repressed Pastry Chef and you can find the recipe there.
Your crisp looks wonderful! Good idea adding the walnuts. Can’t wait to make this one.
That looks just amazing! We loved it at my house.
Looks great! Can’t wait to try it!
Ah, the things our children say – don’t ‘cha just love ‘em? Glad you had room for dessert, though – this was really good!
It looks great! This is on the menu for dessert tonight – I can’t wait to try it!
I keep hearing about Honey Crisp apples. Looks like I’ll have to do some searching around town so I can try them out. Your crisps look delicious, too!
The crisp looks delicious. I cringed when I read about eating crow, but hopefully the crisp made the experience a little bit better.
Open mouth…insert foot…so funny…glad you liked the crisp..I will make it next week.
Out of the mouth of babes…you never know what there going to say!
Your crisp looks so good. Im glad you enjoyed it. I plan to make it sometime this month!
Oh our children have such a nice way of humbling us.
The crisp does look good. And it looks like a nice way to wash down the crow.
I am sure the crisp was much tastier than eating crow.
I am going to make this Thanksgiving week. Yours looks great!
Your crisp looks so tasty, especially with those beautiful cranberry juices flowing over the sides. A side of ice cream doesn’t hurt one bit, either!
Outstanding, as usual. Thanks for this one to try asap.

I can’t wait to make this crisp (hoping to do so tomorrow night) and I might try putting the molasses cookies on top instead of the oatmeal. I like your walnuts idea. Yours looks great.
OMW I am laughing hysterically at the Out of the Mouths of Babes part of this post…that is too funny. Your crisp looks wonderful and that bit of ice cream floating on top makes me feel like licking my lips and heading the kitchen to make some more for tonight as we do have ice cream right now! Great post, thanks for the laughs.
Yep, don’t those “babes” teach us a few lessons. Sorry about the crow but wow the crisp looks delicious and I’m so glad you loved it. Me too! Also, let me say I really love your home page. Just very neat and clean and to the point without a boatload of clutter. Thank you! Original in appearance, at least to me. Awesome. Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Oooh, that sounds good!
Oh, I love hearing the stories of my nieces and nephews….it scares me what I will probably endure as well
But at least you had something to wash the crow down with 
Looks amazing….we loved it too!
Oh MY goodness! Your crisps look SO good! I can’t resist baked desserts that bubble over like that..and with ice cream? SHAZAAM!!!!!
Your crisp looks really delicious. Walnuts sound good–I may have to try them next time. (I used pecans instead of the coconut.)
