Cranberry Crisp
with vanilla ice cream
This recipe was originally written to make 8 servings.
Cranberries are always a festive addition to a Thanksgiving spread, and their bright color makes them a fun base for a rustic crisp.
Smarts: The cranberry filling will be fairly tart after baking, but we found the tartness to be just right with a scoop of sweet vanilla ice cream. Feel free to increase the sugar if you'd like a sweeter filling.

It was good, especially with ice cream. A bit tot much sugar and I used less than the amounts listed. Needs to be a little saucier.
0 HelpfulSimple and yummy but I was puzzled by all the odd measurements that make it difficult to use my measuring cups and spoons, like 3/8 cup and 1/16 cup. Maybe it was scaled down from a bigger recipe? Couldn't it be rounded to easier sizes to measure? Kudos for including a dessert recipe! We needed this!
