When cranberries and oranges get together they turn into
college freshmen at their first frat party. It’s true! They party like its
1999. Not sure what that’s like actually since I was 8 or 9 in 1999. Anyway, fresh orange juice gets to play with cranberries AND apples in this
Cranberry Apple Crumble from Cooking
Light: my favorite magazine to get recipes from. I don’t feel as guilty
reaching for seconds…
We went apple picking as soon as the Macintosh trees were
open for business at the orchard up the street from my house. Mom made apple
pie and it was devoured within a couple of days. But since we got a peck’s
worth, we still had plenty of apples and a small amount of fresh cranberries
that needed to be used – fast!
I didn’t have enough fresh cranberries so I supplemented
with Craisins…yum.
This recipe has a nice balance of sweet and tart when you
use all fresh cranberries but I’ve always wondered how it would taste with
Craisins. I’m more partial to sweet than tart. The Craisins made a big sweet
difference! However, I’m glad I didn’t use only Craisins because the fresh
cranberries balance out the extra sweetness.
*Note: I squeezed my own orange juice and I think it makes a
HUGE difference from buying bottled juice. Please don’t buy your orange juice
bottled. Your tastebuds will thank you.
