I enjoyed this recipe but I pretty much like anything with cranberry sauce in it. Although I can't resist commenting on some of the former reivews. Doesn't it make sense to try out a recipe first before making it for holiday dinners, birthday parties, etc??? If you don't like a recipe fine, but don't make an untested recipe for a big dinner and then be embarrassed when no one, not even you, likes it.

Wow! Enough to inspire me to cook more deserts! I used A.P. flour instead of what was suggested, and I also used the "Cranberry, apricot, raisins sauce" (also in allrecipes.com) for cranberry sauce. Really really good, tangy, and sweet. Good crust too. Had it with vanilly ice cream. Yum! Bf loved it.

I love this recipe! I like the tartness of the granny smith apples and I mix the apples and cranberry sauce together instead of one on top of the other. I use 1/2 oil and 1/2 apple sauce for the crisp topping.

The negative reviews almost scared me away from this healthy recipe, but thank goodness I didn't listen to the naysayers. I've tried all of this cooks's other recipes, and they are fabulous, so of course i had to try it, and i am soooo happy i did. It was delicious and the whole family ate it up. I made it precisely according to directions and didn't change a thing...except for topping it with whipped cream, of course. There is such a thing as TOO healthy, i believe. Thanks, What a Dish!

I thought this was going to be a great dish, however it was very soupy. The idea was great as a new combination of fruits that I had not thought of, but I was disappointed with the end result.

This turned out great - my family enjoyed it thoroughly. I'm wondering where in the recipe it indicates where to add the brown sugar? I added it to the crisp ingredients as it seemed the cranberry sauce would be sweet enough to flavor the apples. It turned out fine, but I'm wondering what others did with the brown sugar?

I made this recipe two weeks ago and it has one of the best crisps I've ever tasted. Usually I can't stand the brick hard crisps and this was no way near that. It was moist and very tastey. I'm going to make if for our friends for this t-day. Thank you so much for sharing.

Absolutely delish! We *loved* the topping--it was crispy and crunchy, and the dish was just sweet enough ... we had it warm out of the oven with vanilla ice cream ... oh, wow!

This was EXCELLENT! I didn't have any cranberry so I used Dole frozen mixed berries thawed. I only used half a cup of oats and added a half a cup of granola.

I used cherry pie filling instead of cranberries and regular all purpose flour. Turned out great. Thanks.

This was really tasty! I added 1/4 c. sugar to the apples and next time I would add a bit of flour to thicken the juices. I just felt it needed a little extra sugar to please my sweet tooth. I used 1 can of Ocean Spray whole berry cranberry sauce and it was just the right amount. I didn't have whole wheat flour so substituted A.P. and the topping was delicious! Thanks for a great, easy fall recipe!

This was delicious. I used Cranberry Sauce I from this website. I do recommend using Granny Smith apples, as the recipe calls for. I tossed in a couple of "unknown" apple varieties, along with a Granny Smith, but missed the firmness and tanginess of the GS. The topping was superb. Be sure to use whole wheat PASTRY flour, and not just plain ww flour! Thanks, Dishy!

I've never given a one star review before...but this one gets my first ever, with no hesitation! I liked the combination of apples and cranberry, but the "crisp" topping was dry and tasted exactly like cardboard. Gross. I threw out all the leftovers...and there were a lot! It was a VERY dissappointing finale to an otherwise spectacular Thanksgiving meal. I could see all my guests were being polite and choking it down. I finally mumbled something about the topping being dry and tasteless, and no-one said anything..they all just stared politely into their bowls. I'll go back to may old tried and true crisp topping recipe. To all of you who want to try this recipe - pick a crisp topping from another recipe on this site. The one on the Maple Apple Crisp (by Crystal) is VERY good!

This was such an enjoyable dessert...thank you WhataDish! I did use homemade cranberry sauce (Pear Honey Cranberry Sauce from this site) & I only had 3 apples (two golden delicious & one gala) but I think that really was plenty. The crumb topping was soo good....but it was veen better w/ a scoop of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream. ;o) This recipe is a keeper!

This was such a good idea! It doesn't take many ingredients and is so simple. The vanilla ice cream on top is a yummy must. I omitted the cinnamon, but only because I am allergic to it and it was still lovely and my husband was much impressed. (It's hard to get him to eat deserts that aren't chocolate or pudding) Will make again.. I did make one cgange.. I added some vanilla in with the apples, but I really love my vanilla.

I am not a huge fan of cranberries, I usually only have one bite of the sauce at thanksgiving, but this was excellent and extremely easy to make. I served it warm over vanilla ice cream and it was a hit!
