Alex Guarnaschelli's Cranberry Apple Crumble

This traditional holiday crowd-pleaser just got an upgrade. Food Network star Alex Guarnaschelli brings a rich, earthy sweetness to her fall fruit crumble with a red wine reduction. To make it even easier and sweeter, Alex suggests, use half fresh cranberries and half chunky cranberry sauce.
