Confession #7: Ahh, Cranberries.

A staple of the fall. There aren’t many fruits that are so beautiful in nature, add spice to our home decor, and taste so wonderful in our desserts. 

I love the idea of filling candle holders with cranberries (apparently the cranberries last for a while, so that’s a plus). It is refreshing to see an autumn decoration that is chic and elegant. I have seen far to many fake leave strands and plastic pumpkins and it’s only the beginning of September! Pinterest is definitely going to be my go-to for autumn decorations this year!

And now to the yummy part of this blog post….my famous cranberry apple crisp recipe. People have been trying to steal this recipe from me for years! Ok, I’m lying. It’s actually not famous at all but it is incredible and will make you super popular with all your friends and family.
