This is one of the easiest and [...] I don’t know what it is about the cooler weather that brings to mind fruit crisps. Warm, cooked fruit with a crunchy topping makes my heart sing. Overly sweet desserts are too overwhelming to me but there’s something about the tartness of cranberries mixed with apple that’s extremely appealing. This recipe came about because I had some [...] APPLE-GINGER SPICED CRANBERRY SAUCE 1 12oz package of fresh cranberries Apple-Ginger Spiced Cranberry Sauce 1 cup cane sugar 1 cup apple cider 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon ground ginger Mix apple cider and sugar in a medium pan and bring to a boil.
