Today I tried an experiment in fruit crisp. We had a ton of cranberries in the fridge, so I decided go crazy with cranberries. And pistachios. The Five Spice Chinese spice gives it a nice bite that complements the sweetness of the crisp. And the vanilla adds a mellowness to the cranberries. It was quite tasty.
Cranberry Crisp with Pistachios
7 1/2 cups cranberries
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp Five Spice Chinese spice
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup pistachio nutmeats1. Add cranberries to the food processor and pulse several times until cranberries are roughly chopped.
2. Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large pot over low heat. Add 1 cup brown sugar and stir over medium heat until combined. Add cranberries and apples, spices, vanilla and salt.
3. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Then add to an 8 1/2 by 11 pan.
4. In the food processor, add 1/4 cup butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup oatmeal and 1/2 cup pistachio nutmeats. Pulse until ingredients are combined and clumping together slightly. Crumble on top of the cranberry mixture.
5. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream.

This looks really good. I love the tartness of the cranberries. I would never have thought of the Five Spice Chinese spice.
I make an apple crisp with dried cranberries, and it's super. But this looks fantastic!
Yum! This looks sooooo good. Last year I made a cranberry/Apple crisp but I forgot to increase the sugar. The cranberries were an afterthought and so I just through a cup or so in. Man, I was so disappointed with my extremely tart crisp. Oh well. Yours looks and sounds so good.
