Ingredients
- 5 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped
- 2 cups cranberry juice
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons potato starch
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 8 to 10 gingersnaps, crushed
Directions
Add the apples, cranberry juice, sugar and cinnamon to a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the apples are very soft, about 10 minutes. Dissolve the potato starch in 1 cup cold water. Pour this slurry into the hot apple mixture, stirring constantly. Continue stirring until the kissel starts to bubble again, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and pour into individual dessert dishes. Allow them to cool then refrigerate them for at least 2 hours.
In a small bowl mix the sour cream with the brown sugar and lemon juice. To serve, put a good dollop of the sweet sour cream on top of the kissel and swirl it in with a spoon. Garnish with the crushed gingersnaps.

I like the way this comes together quickly and then pushed into the fridge until company is ready to have it. You only need alittle to satisfy your sweet tooth. Sweeten Sour Cream? who'd have thought it would be that good!

Everything I made for Christmas dinner this year I got from food network. Before then, I had never even heard of kissel, much less what it was supposed to look like, so I went with my instincts. For me, it turned out a little runnier than I had thought it would be, but perhaps it was the way it was supposed to be, who knows... however... it was really really yummy, and everyone liked it very much. I'll definitely make this one more often, just as soon as I figure out how it's actually supposed to look.... :o P.S. What SIZE apples are they supposed to be?

We love this recipe and it couldn't be easier! I omit the sour cream all together and the dish is still wonderful. I think it tastes like an apple cobbler myself. Try it...it really is easy and great!
