Easy Old Fashioned Apple Crisp Recipe

Easy Apple Crisp is an old-fashioned recipe with sweet baked apples and a crisp topping that is easy to make and bakes up in just 30 minutes!!

Why I love this recipe

Like our peanut butter apple crisp, this is a classic dessert that is super easy to make. If you can slice apples, you can make this easy apple crisp recipe! It's the perfect way to use leftover apples that might be a little past their prime. The sweet apple filling and crunchy oat topping make this the perfect fall dessert!

Ingredients

• apples
• cinnamon
• all-purpose flour
• quick oats
• brown sugar
• butter

Step by step

1. Core the apples then slice thinly. (I leave the peel on mine but you are welcome to peel them if you prefer.) 
2. Place the sliced apples and cinnamon in a large bowl and stir to evenly coat. Pour cinnamon-coated apples into prepared pan.
3. Mix flour, oats, and brown sugar in a large bowl. 
4. Stir in butter and mix until uniform, then pour oat mixture evenly over the top of the apple mixture. 
5. Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve this delicious old-fashioned apple crisp from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce and enjoy! 

What kind of apples are best for homemade apple crisp?

My personal favorite type of apple for this recipe are Granny Smith apples or Honeycrisp apples because they stand up to baking well. You can also use a mix of apples if you prefer. Here is an article from Bon Appetit on the best apple varieties for baking.

Tips for best results

• Use unsalted butter. 
• Slice apples very thin to ensure they bake properly.
• Granny Smith or Honey Crisp apples are the best bet for this recipe.

Storage

This recipe is best served fresh. You can store it for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator but the topping gets soft when stored. Trust me, eat it up immediately for the best taste of that crunchy topping!
