SculptHouse Founder Katherine Mason's Go-To Thanksgiving Recipe

For SculptHouse founder, Buckhead resident and Patch Tastemaker Katherine Mason, fall is all about spending time with friends and enjoying the cooler weather. So where does she go to fully celebrate the season in Atlanta?

Well, autumn happens to be her perfect excuse to do some festive home decorating — her favorite spot is Lucy’s Market for "seasonal items that are cute and not cheesy, and can be used year after year!" She can also be found at the new Irby’s Tavern in Buckhead cheering on her favorite football teams, the Falcons and the Dawgs (now that she's a Georgia girl, of course).

Back at home, Mason enjoys relaxing by a fire with a glass of red wine in hand or whipping up her signature holiday dish, which highlights the best flavors of fall.

"I have been making the same cranberry apple crisp since I was little," says Mason. "It’s a family recipe that my grandmother started, and I have made it my go-to dish for every Thanksgiving meal.

Perfect for any football pre-game or fall gathering, this fruity crisp can easily be prepared in advance. All you have to do is mix the delicious-yet-healthy ingredients together and pop it in the oven! Check out Mason's secret family recipe below:
