    Easy Apple Crisp Recipe

    Do you love apples? I love them so much that I declared last week “apple week” in our house.

    Maddie and I spent the better part of 2 days baking up five fantastic apple desserts that we’ll be sharing with you over the next couple weeks.

    This easy apple crisp recipe I’m sharing with you today is one of the oldest recipes that I remember making in my 16+ years of marriage.  I can remember being in the kitchen of our brand new house baking up this mouth-watering easy apple crisp.

    I’m pretty sure that the first fall I found this recipe, I made it an embarrassing amount of times.  Maddie was about 1 year old, which meant that Matt and I got to eat this easy apple crisp baked in an 8×8 pan all by ourselves.  No sharing with kids. Those were the days!

    Is apple crisp the same as apple crumble?

    Apple crisp and apple crumble are generally the same. Often one or the other doesn’t include oats in the topping, but both are a dessert with apples on the bottom and a crumbly streusel on the top.

    What are the best apples to use for apple crisp?

    Granny Smith apples are known for being one of the best apples to bake with. They are tart in flavor so they pair well with the sugar in recipes. If you can’t find Granny Smith, try Pink Lady, Honey Crisp or Empire.

    How to Peel Apples Quickly

    I love the simplicity of this Amish recipe. The hardest part is peeling the apples.

    If you don’t have an apple peeler/slicer/corer hand-crank machine, you’re going to want to get one. It makes apple desserts so much less of a hassle to make.

    It took us literally about 1-2 minutes to peel, core and slice our 4 Granny Smith apples with our handy peeler.  Another time saver? You can mix the streusel in the same bowl that you mix the apples in, leaving only one dirty dish for you to wash.

    How do you make apple crisp topping?

    It’s important to start with cold butter when you are making apple crumble topping.

    Make sure the butter is refrigerated…or you can even pop it into the freezer for a few minutes to ensure it is really cold.

    Whisk together the sugar, flour, oats, baking soda and powder. Then use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients to get coarse crumbs.

    Make up a pan of this easy apple crisp for your family soon. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.  I’m pretty sure it will be one of your new fall favorites!

        I can see exactly why it is called a “Goodie”! I love all that oat topping! Dying!!! I wish it were apple season in Atlanta right now! But, alas, it will be all peaches for a few more months!

          I’m guessing this topping would be just as good made with peaches, Lindsey! Hmmmm…..may have to try that! ๐Ÿ™‚

        This looks almost exactly like the way we make apple/fruit crisp, except we don’t use baking powder or baking soda. Definitely our favorite dessert!

        Call me crazy but I actually think this was maybe just a little bit to sweet…. if there is such a thing! Thought it was amazing, just going to cut back on the sugar a bit next time

        Made this recipe tonight. Minus the baking powder and soda. I didnโ€™t have those ingredients or I would have followed along 100%. My house smells amazing right now and only 3 minutes to go. I used one too many apples so I made another quarter strusel and added that to the top.
