This month for TWD and Thanksgiving, we get to choose which recipe to bake and post at our convenience. It just so happens that the two I am baking, follow the list, so I won't be posting out of order. Hopefully Dorie's pumpkin tart will be picked in December, I was a little sad it wasn't this month's pick.
Em of The Repressed Pastry Chef choose Cran-Apple Crisps for this week. Even though I recently made an apple crisp not long ago, I just HAD to try Dorie's! This is another easy peasy recipe to put together. I used fresh cranberries (and froze what I didn't use) and 5 Gala apples (those were a great sale price). I was skeptical to add the coconut to the crumb topping, until I realized you grind it up in the processor, so I went for it. I also snuck in a few shakes of cinnamon to the apples and cranberries.

A couple of weekends ago, we took a long overdue trip to one of our local Swap Meets (like a huge garage sale and then some), and I scored big time with a (probably) new Pampered Chef stoneware deep-dish pie dish! For just $3!!! I was so excited to get to use it for this! I read online about how to care for it before using it because one time I found another PC stoneware lasagna pan from the Thrift store, that broke in the oven while I used it! My friend, a PC consultant said maybe there was an air bubble in it that caused it to exploded.

Anyways, the crumb topping came along beautifully, and it baked for the time said. I got to sneak some for the photos before my light went away (I am not liking this time change!). Mmm, this is delicious! The cranberries were great in this, not tart like you'd think they'd be, the sweetness from the sugar, apples and topping brings all the flavors together nicely.
Do make this! Em will have the recipe posted so head over to her blog to print it out!
