Everyone has that one dish they always eat at Thanksgiving. That one family recipe that’s been passed down, cherished and loved. That one favorite that everyone waits to come out of the oven, devours and fights for the last crumbs.

For my family, that’s Cranberry Apple Casserole. Or as we call it for short: Cranberry Casserole. Soft and crunchy, sweet and tart — it’s a little bit cranberry sauce, a little bit baked apples. The perfect companion for a roast Thanksgiving turkey.

I make it every year, regardless of who I’m spending the holiday with. (And I often make it for Christmas dinner too.) I love hearing what people think of this dish. Once, my sister made a Cranberry Apple Casserole for her Midwestern friends and they claimed it was more of a dessert. I still say it’s a side! (C’mon, who eats casserole for dessert?)

So, in honor of Blogsgiving Dinner, of course I had to make my favorite dish. And I made mini versions, because sharing just isn’t an option sometimes! These Mini Cranberry Apple Casseroles are the perfect portion size for each person at the table.

I used these medium-sized ramekins to make them. They’re a bit larger than regular ramekins, and perfectly sized for side dishes.
