Apple Crisp

Looking for a warm, comforting dessert that tastes heavenly with vanilla ice cream? This is the recipe for you. Juicy apples, sweetened with some sugar tossed with tart cranberries and topped with a crumbly mixture of flour, oats, brown sugar, nuts and butter - what more could one ask for.... This is the perfect fall dessert but can be made any time really. I made this for a party so some hurried pictures were taken but it was a dessert that both, the kids and adults enjoyed.
