I halved the recipe since it was just for DD & myself. I used half Splenda & half sugar to cut down on calories. Made for Zaar Stars Tag

We loved this crisp! Especially the crispy chewy topping. I halved the margarine and decreased the flour by 2 tablespoons. The second time I made this I made it only with the cranberries and baked it 15 minutes, then broiled it 2 more minutes. We decided that this is the best crisp we've ever had! Great served warm with low fat vanilla (or eggnog) ice cream.

This was a wonderful dessert -- I absolutely love cranberries and the mix of apples and cranberries was really nice. The only change I made was to reduce the amount of sugar; otherwise, I made as directed. Only one problem -- I forgot to buy ice cream to go along with it. : ) Actually, it was wonderful just as it is and I didn't miss the ice cream at all. : ) Made for PRMR, November, 2013.

I chose this recipe to help use the last pkg of cranberries left from the holidays but now I'm wishing that I had more of them. This is terrific. The cranberry nip id there but as a marvelous touch and not at all overpowering. I used Splenda for the sugar and added a lit bit of cinnamon to both the fruit and the topping. Will certainly make it again.

This is OMG delicious and so very easy to prepare. The only thing I did differently is to use unsalted butter in place of the margarine. I served this with low-fat ice cream. Thanks, loof! Made for Best of 2010 Tag Game as recommended by Maito.
