I got the idea for this Gingersnap-Topped Apple, Pear, Cranberry Crisp from this recipe for Joe’s Awesome Apple, Pear, Cranberry Pie with Gingersnap Topping over at Cookie Madness.
Reading Anna’s description of this lovely tasting pie was my inspiration for coming up with a lighter, healthier more Weight Watchers Friendly variation.
So, I followed Anna’s lead and used this as an excuse to buy a box of gingersnaps – a crunchy, spicy, low-fat cookie I forget how much I liked until I tasted one…

And I love how the cranberries give the filling such a pretty rosy hue too!
