I made this for breakfast using a pink lady apple and some frozen cranberries scaled down to serve one. Lovely tart flavours in this. Mine was a little dry as it was cooking so I ended up adding some apple juice to help it along. Served with some vanilla yoghurt for a satisfying brekky. made for ZWT 4.

YUM !! this crisp is outstanding, we loved it. I cut the sugar way back ( we like ours a little on the tart side) and used splenda brown sugar mix. When checking it after 30 minutes i found the apples had not fallen and it seemed a little dry, so I added about a half cup of water and baked it for a further 15 minutes. the flavour really is outstanding and I will make it again, thanks for posting.
