Cranberry Betty
For a tart autumn dessert, this one is hard to beat. We love the way the sweet apples and brown sugar complement the tangy cranberries. Topped with the lemon sauce, it's a winner! —Leona Cullen, Melrose, Massachusetts

Reviews
When you're looking for another way to use seasonal cranberries, this Cranberry Betty is wonderful. If you want to offset the taste of the cranberries in this, I would suggest adding a few slices of apple or pear. Besides the Lemon Sauce, another great accompaniment would be vanilla ice cream, freshly whipped cream or creme fraiche.
