GINGERSNAP APPLE CRISP WITH CREAM CHEESE AND WALNUTS



Gingersnap Apple Crisp with Cream Cheese and Walnuts image

Crisps are far easier to make than pies, but just as flavorful. Macerating the apples in sugar overnight helps them keep some of their crispness in the oven and concentrates their flavor. Toasted walnuts and gooey cream cheese add an element of surprise, and an easy crust made from fall's favorite cookie will make your guests wonder why they ever bothered with pie at all.

APPLE, CRANBERRY, AND PEAR CRISP



Apple, Cranberry, and Pear Crisp image

This is a variation of the traditional Apple Crisp that I dreamed up one day when I didn't have enough apples, and there were pears in the fruit bowl, and leftover toasted walnuts from something else. We love it. Cranberries can be substituted with raisins or dried cherries. Comice pears taste best with this recipe.
