Although it’s hard to imagine that apple crisp needs much improvement, we liked the tartness and texture that cranberries added to one of our favorite standard dessert recipes. The challenges were balancing the fruit flavors and making sure that the filling baked evenly while the topping stayed crisp. We achieved the perfect fruit mix by com- bining fresh and dried cranberries, and we precooked all the fruit and added tapioca to thicken the juices. This step shortened the oven time and ensured that the classic butter, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and oat topping lived up to the name “crisp.” If you can’t find Braeburn apples, Golden Delicious will work. While old-fashioned rolled oats are preferable in this recipe, quick oats can be substituted; do not use instant oats. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Touch base with a friend before you get too distracted by what’s going on.

Tonight: Make some time for fun. SCARY GARY Mark Buford TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Look beyond the obvious and consider alternatives.

Getting through this charade could take talent. Just be present and listen carefully to what is shared. Tonight: Soak away stress in a hot tub. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH When facing a jumbled mess, you approach the problem from a position of sensitiv- ity and no judgment. Maintain a sense of humor. People often confide in you and share their secrets with you. Listen well, but be sure to keep these matters hush-hush. Tonight: Time for fun and ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie games. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You can push as hard as you want, but the other party still might not move away from his or her position. In fact, you might cause this per- son to take a more formidable stand than he or she normally would. A discussion needs to occur in an easy, relaxed manner. Tonight: Head home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Reach out to someone whose advice you trust. This person is in a similar situation and can easily identify with you. Talks between you will reveal quite a few commonalities. Don’t fall for the ploy of someone you don’t trust. Others tend to agree with you. Tonight: At a favorite spot. ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might want to review your budget before you make any more commitments, whether for the holidays or for necessity. At this time of the year, you might be more prone to financial errors. Only you can determine the validity of someone else’s offer. Tonight: As you like it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might notice that everyone seems to be reaching out to you, and somehow, even if you’re not involved, you could become the Cryptoquip center of quite a few projects! Think before you say too much or give your opinions too easily. Tonight: Do something you’ve postponed for a while. ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH If you feel somewhat under the weath- er, slow down and take care of yourself. Something might be bothering you that needs to be dealt with. You can’t always absorb hostility and say nothing. It’s how you say what you’re thinking that makes the difference. Tonight: Out late.
