From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito
Easy apple crisp is the ultimate cozy fall dessert.
It wouldn’t feel like seasons were shifting in New Jersey without it. Especially with all the apple picking we have around here.
The tender apples and buttery, oat topping gives you the perfect pair of soft and crunchy in every single bite. It’s the best!
My kids know once my house starts smelling like warm apples and cinnamon that they’re in for a super delicious sweet treat. They look forward to it all year.
It’s simple to make, requires basic ingredients, and is always a huge hit. It’s definitely a classic fall dessert recipe for a reason.
And if I’m saying it’s easy, you better believe it. I’ve admitted over and over again that I’m not a great baker. If I can do it, you can do it!
Serve this on its own or with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Either way, this easy apple crisp is a treat that everyone is going to love.
I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.
Easy Apple Crisp Variations
I like this recipe made just the way it is but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.
- Apples- Honeycrisp, Granny Smith or Fuji apples are all great choices to use here. Peel them or leave the peel on.
- Fruit- Mix in some sliced peaches, pears or berries for a nice variation.
- Nuts-Add some pecans, almonds or walnuts to the topping for some crunch.
- Topping- Drizzle some Caramel Sauce on the top for a caramel apple crisp.
