Apple-Cranberry Crisp Ingredients
Here's what you'll need to make this crowd-pleasing apple-cranberry crisp:
· Apples: Granny Smith apples are perfect for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and have bold flavor. Honeycrisp or Gala apples would also work well.

· Spices: Cinnamon and nutmeg add warmth and cozy flavor to this apple-cranberry crisp.
· Oats and flour: The chewy topping starts with quick cooking oats and all-purpose flour.
· Butter: Cold butter adds richness and flavor to the topping.
· Pecans: If you'd like, you can substitute walnuts for the chopped pecans.
