Yum! This is a slightly updated traditional crisp. Given my pantry, I used dried cranberries instead of dates (worked well); also left out the pecans (not a problem but they would have been excellent -- next time I'll run to the store). Added 1.5 inches fresh ginger, grated, to the apples - this was an excellent addition and next time I'll add even more. Leftover crisp is great with plain yogurt. Next time I'll serve this to guests with creme fraiche on top.

This was very good but since the topping is so thick, it ends up to be more of a bar than what you think of as a crisp.
