HEALTHY APPLE CRISP
This easy dish is a tradition in my family. It's as quick as a boxed cake mix but it's a healthier dessert choice. It's ideal in fall when it seems that everyone has a bag or two of fresh apples to give away! -Terri Wetzel, Roseburg, Oregon

LOWER FAT CRANBERRY APPLE CRISP
This is a remake using less fat that I found on the Florida Herald Tribune website. Love to get the same taste using less fat! NOTE: finally got around to making this, and for my taste it is way too tart. I would either add more sugar to the cranberries or use dried to begin with. I'd forgotten just how tart fresh cranberries can be!
