Holy moly this was one tart crisp! I used two big granny smith apples and fresh cranberries and it was mouth puckering goodness. See that little dab of ice cream right there? It certainly needed more of that to counter the tartiness. I was to lazy to go scoop more but my honey liked it enough to get seconds of everything. He's not really a cooked fruit lover so the fact that he got seconds is saying something.This recipe was brought to you by the letter Em @ The Repressed Pastry Chef.

Interesting! Mine was very sweet. I used Fuji apples. Glad to hear someone tried it with granny smith. I don't think I'll go that route LOL I'm making this again for Thanksgiving but am using the same apples and cutting back on the sugar :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great, especially with the ice cream! Mine wasn't too tart; it must depend on the apples and maybe the cranberries (and probably the person eating it!).
ReplyDeleteMine fell into the other end of the spectrum - it was soooo sweet.
ReplyDeleteNo matter in the end though, it was all good.
I didn't add cranberries to mine.
ReplyDeleteYours looks great.
Im writing down all these crisp tips!Im going to make it next time and Im not wanting all this tart sweet taste! I made the cookies this week and loved them!
ReplyDeleteYour tart looks good!
Mine was just right in terms of tartness/sweetness. I used either Fujis or Galas, can't remember which. All I know is that I'll be baking it again soon!
ReplyDeleteI love granny smith apples. I haven't made this yet...next week. Yours looks so good with the ice cream.
ReplyDeleteI used Macs and I liked the sweetness they added. But next time I will have to cut back on the sugar. Looks great, though.
ReplyDeleteI added caramels and bananas. Lack of sweetness solved. I wish I'd thought of ice cream.
ReplyDeleteYours looks lovely!
