Apple Crisp

 
Jumbo Apple Corer/Slicer

Apple Crisp is a wonderful fall dessert. Created from freshly-picked, crisp apples, it’s light enough to enjoy after a filling fall dinner, and it’s easy to make, too. You don’t have to create a crust for this dessert, just crumble a cinnamon mixture over the top, bake, and enjoy!

To make apple crisp, you’ll need:

  • 3 cups baking apples (Red delicious are good), peeled, cored, and sliced thinly
  • 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • Vanilla ice cream (optional)
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Heat oven to 375 degrees F.

Spray a 10×6 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange apples in dish; sprinkle with lemon juice.

Mix sugar with next 4 ingredients until crumbly; spread over apple mixture. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until tender.

Serve warm, topped with ice cream or whipped cream if you prefer. Makes 6 servings.

Here’s another version of Apple Crisp we think you will find tasty:

Oatmeal Apple Crisp

  • 10 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tbsp. cinnamon
  • 1 cup quick rolled oats
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Place apples evenly in the dish. Mix cinnamon and sugar together, sprinkle over apples.

Mix oats, brown sugar and flour until blended well. Stir in melted butter until fully moistened but still crumbly. Cover apples evenly with topping. Bake 35-45 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

Serve hot or cold, alone or with ice cream or whipped topping, if you prefer. Makes 6 servings.

You can see that the basic ingredients are the same, but you can add or subtract items, like the oats, to make the topping more or less crumbly and thick. You can also make apple crisp with canned apple pie filling, but the fresh varieties really add a lot of flavor to this apple crisp recipe.

You can also make the same recipe with many other summer and fall fruits, like peaches, pears, plums, cherries, and others. Experiment with the fruits you choose, and try serving it with a rich, vanilla-bean ice cream for an extra treat.

There’s nothing like a hot, fresh apple crisp hot out of the oven to make any meal complete, so don’t wait to make this easy dessert for your family – try it tonight!
