Apple Cranberry Crisp

Emeril’s Apple Cranberry Crisp

THIS IS DELICIOUS! Love the tang of the cranberries with the sweet apples. It also turns a pretty pink from the cranberries. We loved this recipe. The topping is a scrumptious combo as well. Perfect fall dessert. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS: (salted butter is fine)
Unsalted butter for baking dish
2 1.2 to 3 pounds sweet, firm apples, such as Gala or Braeburn, peeled, cored and cut into ½ inch dice
12 oz cranberries (fresh or frozen work fine—no need to thaw)
½ c sugar
3 T all purpose-flour
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
¼ tsp grated orange zest plus 1 T fresh orange juice
Crisp Topping
