Blood oranges are not in season for very long, but when they are, you can use them for anything from dessert to main course meals. They have a unique taste out of all the citrus plants that is sweet and aromatic, but does not overdo it in the flavor. I inserted the juice the and the zest in this crumble as its flavors made for a beautiful partnership with the tart taste of the cranberries and apples. This dish will become your new holiday favorite and it is very simple to make.
