Homemade Apple Crisp Recipe

Happy second week of National Apple Month! The apple adventures continue with this easy and delicious homemade apple crisp recipe. This is another family favorite that uses up a few of the plentiful apples we have this year.

This dessert takes very little time to make. In fact, it feels like prepping the apples takes longer than any other part! The crunchy oats and brown sugar meld perfectly with the softened apples. It’s perfect for a “crisp” fall day when served warm with a little bit of vanilla ice cream.

Tips and Tricks

You can make this crisp with any type of apple you like. Our favorites are McIntosh and Gravenstein, but any apple will do. You may want to adjust the amount of topping if you use a sweeter or tarter apple, though. Play around with it and see.

While you can try making this recipe with old-fashioned oats, you’re much better off using quick oats. Quick oats absorb the moisture better and make a more enjoyable crisp, while the old-fashioned variety can stay tough and chewy.

Note that this recipe calls for an 8×8 glass dish. If you use a metal pan, your results may differ. Similarly, if you use a 9×9 pan instead, you’ll have a different topping to apple ratio. You may want to adjust the temperature/cooking time if you use a different type of pan.

This recipe can be made in the oven or microwave. While the oven gives it a nice crunchy top, microwaving takes less time overall. You can try them both and see what you prefer!

Enjoy!

If you’re looking for more great apple recipes, try an apple dumpling cobbler or the perennial favorite apple pie.
