I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and that the Hanukkah celebrators are continuing to enjoy your 8 crazy nights.

Okay, on to a dessert that is totally short and sweet.

If you need a recipe in case you need to feed a crowd dessert on short notice, this one will do very nicely.

You can keep the ingredients on hand in the pantry and throw the crisp together in no time at all.

I couldn’t find plain Oatmeal Cookie Mix, so I used an Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix. Pretty sweet.

Apple Cranberry Crisp

Ingredients:

3 (21 ounce) cans apple pie filling
3/4 cup apple cider
1/2 cup dried cranberries
3 Tbs lemon juice
1 (17.5 oz package Oatmeal Cookie mix, such as Betty Crocker’s
1/2 cup butter, softened
Ice cream to serve, if you like (definitely)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350℉.

2. In a 13×9 inch baking dish, stir together the pie filling, cider, cranberries and lemon juice until well combined.

3. In a large bowl, combine cookie mix and softened butter. Rub together with your fingers until blended. Sprinkle over apple mixture.

4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until filling is bubbly and topping begins to brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serve with ice cream.

Makes about 10 servings

Here is a short song to give you a post holiday surge of energy.

Did you ever see the remake of Freaky Friday with Lyndsay Lohan? This song kind of reminds me of the girl band’s music.
Lisa Marr Experiment-Fortune Ran True

Sweet? This song is so sweet you need to have your teeth cleaned after listening. As covers go, I like this one.
The Kooks-Young Folks

Check out Lisa Marr on her Website. You can buy the music there.
