Cranberry-Apple Crisp
Candied ginger and apple juice sweeten the filling in this juicy crisp. Its thin crust includes whole-wheat pastry flour, which lends a nutty flavor that complements the brown sugar. Be sure to use a sweet, firm apple that will hold its shape during baking, such as Fuji, Delicious or Crispin. A small scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt makes a nice accompaniment.
