The Apple Tart<\/strong> and Upside-Down Cranberry Cake<\/strong> are two of the Thanksgiving standards for dessert at Casa di Cranki.<\/em> The tart, with its nicely fanned apples isn’t overly sweet like most apple pies, which means you can indulge without guilt. Of course, it’s much<\/em> better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream…..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The cake is a moist vanilla cake topped with molasses, brown sugar, and cranberries. Accompanied by a dollop of fresh whipped cream, you won’t care if you spend the rest of the day with the button of your pants undone – it’s that good! We plan ahead and wear our Thanksgiving pants – elastic in the waist to allow for a little expansion.\u00c2\u00a0Besides, you can always walk it off in the malls on Black Friday, amirite?<\/p>\n

You can find the recipes here<\/strong><\/a> and here.<\/strong><\/a> Happy baking!!!<\/em><\/p>\n
