Apple Crisp with Cranberries
Adding molasses to fruits creates a rich caramel flavour in this cranberry apple crisp recipe. The cranberries add a pretty touch and tart flavour.

I made this recipe today. The fresh cranberries had not come in yet so I used Ocean Spray frozen cranberries .I used Golden Delicious and Braeburn apples. I doubled the recipe. I baked it in a large Staub Ceramic 4.5 (13 X 9″ ) Gratin dish. It has real high sides. I had to bake it almost an hour but it came out perfect. I let it cool down for an hour. The cranberry apple crisp was delicious. The molasses really added another dimension to the flavor. This recipe is a keeper!
Crosby Molasses
Hi Paul, So pleased you enjoyed the crisp recipe. (I have made it three times in the past two weeks — always delicious.) Good to know that the recipe doubles well.

Hi. Can you add any altitude notes to your recipies. I’m in Calgary and never know if I need to make changes. Would I make any changes to this to accommodate the altitude? Ty!!! Love the recipies you share with us.
Crosby Molasses
Hi there, Since I’m not able to test the recipes based on altitude I hesitate to make any recommendations. Because there is no leavening agent in this recipe you should be fine. Here is a link to some additional information: http://www.monastable.ca/blog/2017/8/29/highaltitude

Haven’t seen fresh cranberries in the market in California yet, but it shouldn’t be much longer. What if instead for now I used a can of Whole Cranberry Sauce, sort of chopped up?
Crosby Molasses
Hi Kim, Not sure what this recipe would be like with cranberry sauce. If I was to test it I’d start with no more than 1/2 cup of the sauce. Do you have access to frozen cranberries? They work in this recipe.

Do you think dried cranberries would work here. I always have them on hand but not fresh one thanks Sue

Love molasses! Just took it out of the oven, and it smells delicious! Had to alter slightly to make it gluten free, but I just know it’s going to be good!

just wondering if partridge berries can be substituted for the cranberries?
Bridget
I bet this apple crisp would be delicious with partridge berries. Are they more tart than cranberries? (I have only had partridge berry jam so don’t know how tart they are on their own). If that’s the case you can add a bit more molasses to the filling. Enjoy!
peggy murray
i am going to try this one for sure.
Audrey
Can’t wait to try this one ~ sounds delicious and really different with the molasses! It would make a nice Christmas dinner dessert!
