Very good! I used 3 Gala apples and 2 Granny Smith, but next time I'll only use 2 Galas because 4 apples was enough. The topping made a good amount to cover the entire dish and made a nice, thick crust. Will make again.

Very good. However, there was no way 10 apples fit into my 9x13 pan, so I had an extra 8x8 pan too. Not too sweet which is what people liked about it. Very nice alternative to regular apple crisp, by adding the cranberries. I used fresh ones and made my own sauce first.

Had leftover cranberry sauce from thanksgiving and aging apples in the fruit basket so needed to use up. This did the trick. Doubled the topping (because everyone said their favorite part of apple crisp is the crisp!) and used 2/3 granny smith and 1/3 red gala apples. Turned out to be delicious, all gone overnight. Will save this recipe to try again!

This turned out really well, and was a fun, more casual alternative next to the Thankgiving pumpkin pie. I don't have a fancy peel/core/slicer machine, so I didn't peel the Granny Smiths. I just cut them in very thin "wedges" around the core. The little bits of green were kind of attractive next to the cranberries anyway. I also assembled the whole thing the night before, kept it in the fridge and baked it before dinner. Just incase the crandberries weren't acidic enough to keep the apples from browning, I threw in a dash of lime juice. Worked great!

This was good but no way would I use butter flavored shortening, I used real butter, also added one cup of chopped pecans to the filling. Will definitely make this again.

Excellent as-is. I love the fact that I can used canned cranberry and not have to pay a premium for fresh. The second time I made it, I had to change it a little bit - I only had fuji apples, so I made up for it by using only 1/3 cup brown sugar. I also only used 1/4 margarine. The topping was drier but still crispy and tasty. This is just an all-around great, easy, recipe.

Absolutely amazing!! The second time round (three days after the first, lol), I used unsalted butter instead. It adds a very nice flavor to the greatness already present in this recipe!

This recipe is great! I made it for Thanksgiving, but we taste tested tonight. I;m not much of an apple or chanberry person, certainly not those jelly looking cranberries in the can, but wow. This will be a yearly staple. I used real butter instead of shortening, and I added maybe double to get that crunchy topping right. This is very sweet, but it's mostly apples, so it felt healthy, not so heavy like chocolate or other things like that.
