An Apple Crisp a Day

Cran-Apple Crisp Recipe

By Westcott Leave a Comment

The old saying goes, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Since the main ingredient in this crisp recipe is apple, this is a healthier dessert than the typical cake, pie, or cookie. The truth is that the health advantages of apples are great. They prevent different kinds of cancer, lower cholesterol, help you maintain a healthy metabolism, and assist in diabetes management.

Likewise, cranberries offer a number of their own health benefits. As a superfood, cranberries are packed with Vitamin C and fiber. They help to inhibit the growth of oral, colon, breast, and prostate cancer cells, and the berries contain protective, disease-fighting compounds that act as antioxidants in the body.

With the health benefits of the apples and cranberries, the crisp is a sure winner. Although a fall favorite, this crisp can fill sweet treat cravings all year long. With a rich golden oat taste and the natural sweetness of baked fruit, this dessert will be a favorite among all your guests.

The tang of the cranberries and sweetness of apples complement each other perfectly. Throw in a brown sugar topping, and the pan will be empty in minutes. If you’d like, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the top, and the dessert transforms into a creamy sweet treat.
