Easy Apple Crisp Recipe
We love all things Autumn, which also means we love apple recipes. From Apple Fritter Rings, to Apple Turnovers, and Apple Cake, sweetened with crisp apple slices, we can’t get enough! If you love apple season as much as we do, this recipe is a must-try.
Every year we go apple picking in my parent’s yard. They have 4 apple trees that really produce so we like to get creative with those apples to capture the season. This recipe is on our regular rotation in Fall because it calls for a generous amount of apples. Here’s why it’s our go-to dessert:
- Quick and easy to make, especially if you use an apple peeler
- Family-approved – watch their eyes light up when you add vanilla ice cream.
- Make-ahead – keeps well and reheats beautifully
- Scales up or down to fit your gathering and perfect for the holidays

Watch Natasha make this easy apple crisp recipe, and see her secret for peeling and slicing apples. It’s the perfect recipe for apple season, which is any time of the year in our home!
Apple Crisp Ingredients
Apple Crisp is all about the experience—the smell of Fall spices, the crunchy topping, and the warm, gooey filling. Here are the simple ingredients that make this incredible dessert:
- Apples – we used golden delicious apples, but any crisp apple would work well (see list of options below)
- Lemon juice – keeps the apples from browning and adds flavor and acid to balance out the sweetness
- Sugar – adjust to taste depending on how tart your apples are
- Flour – helps to thicken the filling. You can substitute with cornstarch for a gluten-free apple crisp.
- Cinnamon – our favorite complimentary spice for apple recipes

Apple Crisp Topping Ingredients
- Flour – bonds the crumb together, feel free to use your favorite gluten-free flour
- Oats – use old-fashioned oats to make the crisp topping, make sure to buy gluten-free, if needed
- Sugar – we combine brown sugar and granulated sugar for a sweet caramel-like filling
- Cinnamon – compliments the apple filling
- Salt – balances the sweetness
- Butter – use unsalted, softened butter.

Substitutions
This will become your go-to recipe, so try these variations.
- Nuts – add chopped nuts to your streusel topping
- Caramel Sauce drizzled over the top just before serving
- Cranberries – substitute 1 1/2 cups of apples for fresh or dried cranberries and add more sugar if using fresh cranberries
- Spices – add a pinch of cloves, nutmeg, or even candied ginger
Which Apples are Best for Apple Crisp?
Select firm and crisp apples so they won’t get mushy in the oven. Apples vary a ton in sweetness so adjust sugar accordingly. We used Golden Delicious here with 3/4 cup of sugar, but if you use Granny Smith Apples, increase the sugar to 1 cup or add it to taste.
You can use an assortment of apples. For instance, combine sweet and tart apples for a different flavor. Here are our favorite apples for baking:
- Golden Delicious
- Granny Smith
- Fuji
- Honeycrisp
- Jonagold
- Braeburn
- Pink Lady

How to Make Apple Crisp
Slice, mix, dump, bake—see how easy it is to make this classic recipe:
- Prep – Butter a 9×13 casserole dish, preheat oven to 375˚F.
- Cut Apples – peel, core, and slice apples into 1/4″- thick pieces (an apple peeler makes it easy), then transfer to a bowl, and toss with 2 Tbsp lemon juice.
- Coat Apples – in a bowl, combine flour, sugar, and cinnamon then sprinkle over apples and stir to coat. Transfer to buttered casserole dish.
- Topping – In a mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, both sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Add diced softened butter and use your hands to stir in the butter until pea-sized crumbs form throughout. Then, spread the topping evenly over your apples.
- Bake – place on the center rack in the oven and bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes until bubbling at the edges. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil until the apples are bubbling.

Pro Tip
If you want to keep your hands clean, you can mix the topping in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment until pea-sized crumbs form. Be sure not to overmix, because you want the topping to be crumbly, not dough-like.

Common Questions
We often use the terms interchangeably, and the ingredients are very similar, but technically speaking, an apple crisp has a crunchy oat-based topping, while an apple crumble has a sandier texture since it is flour-based. Apple Cobbler has a biscuit or cake-like topping.
Yes, you can replace the flour in the apple filling with cornstarch and then replace the flour in the topping with 1 to 1 gluten-free flour or flour substitute.
Using an apple peeler is a major time saver. It will peel, core, and slice your apples in seconds.
Sure! Put the apple crisp filling in the slow cooker, and top with the streusel. Before closing the lid, place a paper towel on the slow cooker bowl first to catch any condensation. Cook until bubbly, on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-7 hours.
We use old-fashioned oats because they crisp up perfectly as the apples bake. Quick oats are cut into small pieces, so the topping will have a finer texture and not be as crunchy. Avoid steel-cut oats since they won’t cook in time.
How to Serve Apple Crisp
The best way to serve apple crisp is warm, topped with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. You can try topping it with caramel sauce, greek yogurt, or whipped cream as well.

There’s nothing like pulling an apple dessert out of the oven to draw everyone into the kitchen. Who can resist the sweet aroma of a baked Apple Crisp?
Make-Ahead
- Room Temperature – store apple crisp covered on the counter for a day but refrigerate leftovers beyond that.
- To Refrigerate – once apple crisp is at room temperature, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3-5 days.
- To Reheat – apple crisp is best served warm. You can reheat the chilled crisp in the microwave just until heated through or reheat in the oven at 350˚F for about 15 minutes.

Notes

So simple, but unbelievably delicious! Loved it! Can’t wait to make it again!
That’s great, April!
I make apple crisp every fall, but this is the best recipe I’ve tried yet. Simple enough that my 10-year-old did most of the steps herself (I helped slice the apples) and the whole family raved over it. Thank you!
You’re welcome, Samantha! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe!
This is one of the most delicious recipes! So easy to make and it tastes like I was hoping!
That’s awesome, Jessica! I’m so happy you loved it!
In the recipe- crumb topping says 1 3/4 c flour for the topping.. then it says , 3 tablespoons flour! I’m confused!!
Hi Debi, the 3 TBSP flour is for the Apple Crisp Filling. The 1 3/4 flour is for the Crumb Topping. I hope this helps.
I would love to make some of this an freeze it. Is there anything special I have to do for that?
I haven’t tried freezing the filling or the entire recipe, so I’m not sure how that would work out. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
I make just the crumb topping sometimes. Freezes well. Use it for various other things.
Got this in the oven right now — house smells AMAZING – thank you for sharing your delicious recipes!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Kristy!
Question: can I make some of the apple crisp recipe ahead of time and how would I do this?
Thank you,
Eileen
Hi Eileen! See my “make-ahead” notes above in the blog post. 🙂
Made this tonight. It is the best apple crisp i have ever had!! Amazing!!! Thank you so much for another amazing recipe. So worth every carb and calorie.
Great to hear that, Lisa. Thank you so much for your good comments and review!
Could this dessert feed 12 people comfortably With ice cream.
Hi Tina! You may try to increase the recipe by 1/2.
Oh so yummy and makes our home smell good too. I have made your recipe twice with our kids. The second time, after apple mixture was put into dish, we added 1/4 -1/2 cup of water to top of apples. This seemed to make the apples more tender and gave more of a sauce. Oh so good
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Joy! I’m so glad you all enjoyed it!
I am 11 years old
And this was super easy thank you Natasha 😊
Hi Izzi! You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Had a malfunction with my oven when I was popping in my Apple crisp. It’s always a hit so needless to say I was very upset. Out of the mouths of babes, my daughter-in-law said to try the microwave. I put the Apple crisp in the microwave for two 10 minute (total 20 minutes) on high. Minus the sweet aroma an oven bake permeates, the apple crisp was delicious.
Nice to know that, Carole. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Hi. If i were to just use 4 apples, do I, 1/3 all the other ingredients? I wanna try the receipe for the weekend camping trip with my dutch oven. Thanks
Hi! I think that would work. Let us know how you enjoy the recipe.
Sorry for the late reply.
Tested the recipe on a dutch oven cast iron pot cooked with hot coals during my camping trip. My friend was so enthusiastic, she knead the crumble into a dough…lol.
My mates love it. Says its better then some deli’s.
Thanks again for the simple & delicious recipe
Yay lovely to hear that you all loved this!
Hello. Can I use a flavored oats? Apple cinnamon flavor. Thanks.
Hi! The best type of oats to use is old-fashioned/rolled oats. If those come flavored, then absolutely! 🙂
Hello, Natasha! Can I use the flavored variety oatmeal? The one with cinnamon and apple flavor? Thank you!
I haven’t tried that to advise. If you do an experiment, please share with us how it goes!
I will give it a try. Because that’s the only oats I have at home. Lol! I will surely update you. 🙂
Let us know how it turns out! 🙂
Made 2 large aluminum pans of this for a church event and it was a big hit! I doubled the apples but just did the crumb topping x 1-1/2 and it was perfect. I absolutely love this exactly as you recommended. And I made a batch with shortening instead of butter to cut dairy and it was still great.
Yay, that’s awesome! Thanks so much for sharing that with us.
Hi Natasha,
I’d like to try making this with my grandson. Would quick cooking oats work?
Hi Rebecca, yes that will work just fine. I hope you love the apple crisp recipe.
The absolute best apple crisp ever! My company all loved it! Thankyou fo another great recipe!
You are very welcome, Dana! Thank you for your great comments and feedback. We’re happy that this recipe was a huge hit!
I made this today and LOVED it! I’m trying out a few recipes for the holidays that aren’t pumpkin based and this apple crisp is a keeper. Granny Smith apples certainly are the best for apple pie & crisp ❤️
Thank you for the awesome feedback, Angela!
I just made it and suggest not to use Granny Smith as they aren’t juicy at all and don’t add flavour at all to the topping to make it taste a little like caramel as with the juices of other apples. I use them for apple pie though.
Also I will put them in a shorter pan so they are deeper. More apple and less crumb.
Hey Natasha! Love your channel. You’re a “go to” to see if I can find the recipe that I’m looking for. This is my first attempt at Apple crisp. We’re a “nutty” family. I’d like to add nuts…would you suggest pecans or walnuts? How much should I add? Wish me luck! Thanks in advance for the advice.
Hi Reba! You can add nuts. Pecans or walnuts would be great (I love pecans). 🙂
You’d have to experiment with the quantity. I would add it to your preference.
Any of your recipes I make my husband loves. When I say I’m trying something new he just looks at me but when I say it’s one of Natasha’s, he’s all smiles. These are truly recipes that work, thank you.
Aww, that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Edna! That’s a huge compliment and I’m smiling big reading it!
Will it alter taste if I half all the ingredients? There are only my husband and I.
Hi Evelyn, I have not tried that but one of my readers shared this “since there are just two of us here at home, I cut the recipe in half. It turned out *wonderfully*!” I hope that helps!
My husband can’t stand oats so what can I use instead of the oats
Hi Mary, I always make this with rolled oats, but I suppose you could use a little more flour and maybe even add some chopped pecans to the mixture to add a little more texture.
Our new favorite fall dessert. Only adjustment I made was adding 1 cup of apple cider . I poured it around the apples before adding the topping. Baked for 1 hour at 375. Excellent!
Sounds great, Nancy and thanks a lot for sharing that with us!
in your video on Apple Crisp you mentioned a tutorial on how to soften butter quickly….i could not find it on your site. Also, what fruits can you substitute when you dont have enough apples?
Hi Carol, here is the link for softening butter. I have not mixed apples with any other fruits but you could reference my peach crisp recipe HERE. They are very similar.
Hi Natasha!
Since there are just two of us here at home, I cut the recipe in half. It turned out *wonderfully*!
Great to hear that!
Hi – question. I want to make this for Canadian Thanksgiving but want to ensure I understand the ‘make ahead’ comments. I should cook it per the recipe, let it cool and then refrigerate vs. waiting to cook it on the day I want to serve it, correct? Thanks!
Hi Tanya! That is correct. After you bake it, once the apple crisp is at room temperature, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3-5 days then reheat according to the directions before serving. I hope you love this recipe.
Made your apple crisp for a church dinner. It was delicious. Got lots of compliments!
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Deborah!
My pear tree is full of pears can I Substitute pears for apples?
Hi LaRain, while I haven’t tested that, here’s what one of my readers wrote: “! I did make this with both pears and apples. I sliced the apples as directed in the recipe. I used very firm pears, sliced them twice as thick and tossed them in Wondra flour. I let them stand a few minutes so the flour would coat them before assembling the filling. And I juiced a tangerine as well as added some tangerine zest. It was freaking awesome! Texture was as I would expect for an apple crisp! Fabulous topping. Went over well for a Christmas party dessert” I hope it helps!
Crisps always seem too sweet. What amounts would be a good reduction in the sugars so not to be super sweet ?
Hi Isla, I don’t like overly sweet recipes either. We believe we found the perfect balance of sweetness here. If you try making adjustments, I’d love to know how they work out!
This recipe is divine! Warm comforting, sweet and spice and then the scoop of Vanilla ice cream….heaven. And so easy to make! Don’t hesitate to make
Thank you, Renee! We love this in our household. I’m glad you found the same warmth it brings to us.
This was SO GOOD! After watching your video, I was inspired to use our green apples that fall off our tree before they ripen. Normally they’re too tart until they turn red but they were absolutely delicious in this recipe! Thank you Natasha!!
You’re very welcome! So glad you enjoyed this recipe.
Unfortunately this recipe isn’t my favorite. Too sweet and the topping was soft and crumbly instead of crisp after baking, kind of dry.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Marilyn! I wonder, was anything possibly substituted or altered in this recipe? This recipe tends to be a huge hit!
I have done this also with plums but sometimes find the fruit it too mushy. If I cook it less then the crust is not crispy. Any suggestions?
Hi Bev, I have not tested this using other fruits to advise.
We don’t like oats in our apple crisp. Will still be good without them?
Hi Leesa, I always make this with rolled oats, but I suppose you could use a little more flour and maybe even add some chopped pecans to the mixture to add a little more texture.
Hi, can i use small ramekins instead of a casserole pan? If so, how long would I bake it for? Thank you.
Hi Margaret, I haven’t tested that myself to advise, but if you plan to monitor it closely and test it I’d love to know how it goes!
Awesome! I used 1 cup all purpose flour and substituted 3/4 cup of the flour for almond flour for the crumble topping… excellent
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Wendy! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
It’s even better with homemade caramel sauce. I added it over top of the apple crisp and add french vanilla ice cream
Sounds amazing!!!
Natasha,
I have enjoyed following you and trying your recipes! I have become gluten free, and have had difficulty finding gf recipes on this website. When I click on the gluten free section no gluten free recipes pop up. I was hoping for some help since I love searching for and trying your delicious dishes! You bring me such joy!
Hi Jessica! Thank you for following my recipes. My gluten-free section contains mainly my recipes that do not use gluten, it is not a section dedicated specifically to gluten-free tested recipes. I can see how that is confusing, I apologize. Be sure to read through the comments on my recipes, some of my readers share great feedback on how they turned the recipe gluten-free using substitutions.
You can make all these recipes with oat flour. Simply grind your large flake oats in a blender to the consistence of flour-can’t tell the difference from flour.
Excellent recipe, highly recommend! Have made this many times and it’s always awesome as are all of your recipes, thanks for sharing with us!
Thank you, Woody! So glad you enjoy my recipes. You’re very welcome!
This is a delicious, easy to prepare crisp. It is a family-sized recipe!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve never been a fan of cooked apples, but I made this for my family and even I loved! I didn’t have lemons so I used orange juice instead and it still was delicious!!!
Thank you for sharing that with us, Laura. I am so happy you enjoyed this recipe. Thank you for the excellent review.
Hello amazing lady,
On the apple peeler, can I just peel and core the apple, or has to be sliced as well
I am considering buying it for cooked and stuffed apples with nuts that I make quite often
Thank you
Hi Natasha,
Is there something I can use instead of oatmeal? I don’t like it and would like to use something else.
Thnks
Hi Mike, I always make this with rolled oats and have not tested this with an alternative. I suppose you could use a little more flour or maybe even add some chopped pecans to the mixture to add a little more texture. Let us know your experiment.
Hi Natasha , Thank you for the great recipes . Can i freeze a portion of the crumble ?
Hi Seema, I haven’t tried freezing the filling or the entire recipe, so I’m not sure how that would work out. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
I make apple crisp all the time I’m a baker at a school freezing it makes it crisp it will due find.
Great Recipe! My family loves it and always cheers when I begin to make the Apple Crisp. Last time my son even wanted to learn how to make this dessert with me.
I changed it to gluten & dairy free by using corn starch for the filling (1 TB corn starch instead of 3 TB flour), almond flour for the crumble topping, and 1/2 cup coconut oil (room temp) + 1/2 cup vegan butter (cold, chopped into little cubes) instead of butter. I worked this mixture together with my fingers until it was crumbly, smooshing the butter/coconut mix into the dry stuff. Thanks again for a great recipe!
I love that you made it together with your son! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
I love your recipes they are so easy. I think my dough was overworked by ME of course my topping did not come out golden brown like yours its was still a little loose after 50 minutes of baking I removed it from the oven due to the sider were bubbling. 🙁
I have been following you forever! The Lava cakes are a family fav. Do you think cooking the apple crisp in ramekins would work out ok if I monitor the inside temp closely?
I Caroline, I haven’t tested that myself to advise, but if you plan to monitor it closely and test it I’d love to know how it goes!
Amazing recipe! Made this a few weeks ago; it was a great way to eat a dessert with a healthy filling!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that, Emily!
There must be an error in the recipe. I read the recipe and it says, “1 3/4 cup of flour.” Then, I was just checking the directions and the directions said 3 Tablespoons of flour. Someone commented that the crust came out doughy and I think that is why.
Hi MC, if you look at the printable recipe cards (Click Jump to Recipe at the top), we use flour twice. we use 3 Tbsp For the Apple Crisp Filling & 1 3/4 cups flour for the Crumb Topping. I hope that helps.
I love all your recipes! I have Fuji apples but I’ve never baked with them before. Would I still use 3/4 cup of sugar in this apple crisp or scale back?
Yes, that would be fine. I hope you love this recipe too!
Where is the site to order the apple peeler? The apple crisp looks delicious, going to try it.
Hi Glenda, you can find our favorite kitchen tools in our Amazon Affiliate Shop HERE.
Hello Natasha,
I made the apple crisp receipe tonight. The apple part was perfect but for some reason the topping did not work for me.
It felt like dough. I kept adding flour and oats trying to get it to crumble and ended up with double the topping and still don’t think its right. It felt like there was way too much butter. I am reading it correctly and adding 1 cup of butter, correct?
Hi Kathy, that is correct but make sure you are crumbling it the way that is recommended in the recipe. Otherwise, if the dough gets too clumpy or overworked, it can seem more like dough than crumbles on top.
Do you think almond flour instead of regular flour, if you are trying to make it gluten free?!
Hi Dianne, I haven’t tried using almond flour yet but you can substitute with corn starch for a gluten-free version.
Made it this weekend and everyone loved it. Grand kids didn’t like the oatmeal. Told them net time I will leave it out.
Do you think it would still be okay?
Hi Darline, I always make this with rolled oats, but I suppose you could use a little more flour and maybe even add some chopped pecans to the mixture to add a little more texture.
Recipe turned out great. Cooked for little longer than called out. Had it French vanilla icecream. Definitely a re peat.
Thank you all your recipes have turned out really good.
This is perfect with vanilla ice cream and I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the recipe. I always can count on you for no fail recipes. I got some pippin apples on sale and made your crisp. Had never had a pippin apple before and it was perfect.
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Diana!
can i make this in advance? prepare it the night before and bake it the next day?
Hi Ann, please see the “Make-Ahead:” section in the recipe!
Can I mix apples and pears? Any particular ratio I would want to use? Would I need to adjust flour based on pear vs apple? What about fresh squeezed orange juice vs lemon?
Hi Mimi! I bet that could work, although one may cook quicker than the other, and I worry you won’t quite get the consistency you’re looking for. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
Thanks, Natasha! I did make this with both pears and apples. I sliced the apples as directed in the recipe. I used very firm pears, sliced them twice as thick and tossed them in Wondra flour. I let them stand a few minutes so the flour would coat them before assembling the filling. And I juiced a tangerine as well as added some tangerine zest. It was freaking awesome! Texture was as I would expect for an apple crisp! Fabulous topping. Went over well for a Christmas party dessert
Wonderful recipe! I cut way down on the sugar and used coconut sugar. I have used another apple crisp recipe for years but with as easy as this is to put together, I’ll be replacing my old with this new. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Karla! I know our readers will find it helpful! Happy Thanksgiving!
Wow this recipe sounds good! I’ll be making it for thanksgiving. Would apple pie filling or canned apples work?
Hi Aubry, I think that will work too. If you try that, please share with us how it goes.
Apple Crisp is great but what brand apple peeler do you have? I bought one but it doesn’t peel well!!!
Hi Susan, you can find our favorite kitchen tools in our Amazon Affiliate Shop HERE.
What brand was your 9/13 white baking dish. I could not read what was printed on the handle !! Thank you
Hi Marcia, you can find our favorite kitchen tools in our Amazon Affiliate Shop HERE. We used this 9×13 STAUB baking dish HERE.
I really dislike oats. Is there something I can use in place of them?
Hi Mike, I always make this with rolled oats, but I suppose you could use a little more flour and maybe even add some chopped pecans to the mixture to add a little more texture.
Thank you so much for so many great recipes!! I am learning so much and my family is loving it!! Would Gala apples work with this recipe?
Hi Danna, I bet gala apples would work great in this recipe!
For the apple crisp I followed the recipe but added a scant half cup of raisins.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Antoinette! I hope you love it!
Natasha this is the best Apple crisp I’ve ever had 😘👌🏼
It’s better than Apple 🍏🥧 pie
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite, Therese!
I love your site. Anytime I want to try making something new, I always check your site before anywhere else. Everything always turns out great!
For this apple crisp, i made an extra half batch of topping, made with half quick oats and half old fashioned, and it all fit in the baking dish! Amazing recipe, thank you!
Hello Jordan, great to hear from you and thank you for always trusting my recipes. I’m so glad you enjoyed it, I hope you’ll love all the recipes that you will try!
If you love apple pie, you’re gonna love this!! It is SO easy to make and so good! Won’t be buying apple pies with added ingredients from the grocery store anymore. Thank you, Natasha, yet again, for a wonderful, delicious, easy recipe!!
So glad you loved this apple crisp recipe! Thanks for your awesome review and feedback.
I have only one complaint, and that is when I go to print any of your recipes. The black print part always comes out too light, and is hardly readable. The colored part of the print comes out just fine, and so does the picture. Are the recipes set up for light print because it looks fine in the print prevue?
Hi Olivia, I checked with my tech person and he did a test by printing and this was his feedback: You can let them know there is either something wrong with their black ink cartridge or they are running low!. I hope that helps with troubleshooting.
This recipe is absolutely delicious! I couldn’t keep my hands off the topping! So delicious.
We’ve made many of your recipes and have never been disappointed. Wish we could share pictures. 😁Thank you Natasha!
That’s great to hear, Melissa. You may share some photos of your creation on our Facebook group or page so others can see them too. Thanks for your review!
Delicious! Have made it twice in the last 2 weeks! Everyone loves it. Your recipes are always easy to follow and they are always gauranteed to taste great!
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Irene!
Perfect! My tiny grandson called me a fancy cook it was so good. lol!
Aww, that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Sue!
Awesome recipe! All 8 people gave the thumbs up. Definitely will make again and again.
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite, Cary!
Bought the apple peeler and love it and your recipe for the apple crumble. Can I prepare the apples as per your recipe but freeze them?
Hi Dayle, I haven’t tried freezing the apple pie filling so I’m not sure how that would work out.
Unbelievably good and so easy to make, especially with the help of The Johnny Apple Peeler. Thank you for this delicious recipe. Definitely a new family favourite. Love your videos and your recipes.
That’s nice feedback, Art. Thanks a lot for your review!
So so good! Made it for a family gathering and it went over very well.
Great to hear that, George! Thanks for the review.
I love how you making baking simple. I am baking gluten free so do you think gf flour in the crumble would work just as well as regular flour?
Hi Jocelyn, this can be made gluten-free. I have some instructions and tips in the recipe.
I absolutely love your recipes and the way you teach! I love to cook, but often feel intimidated by complicated recipes. You make cooking easy and do-able! Thank you so much!
Thank you for your good comments, Beth. I always do my best to use simple ingredients and steps so everyone can follow.
Made your Apple Crisp last nght, it was very delicious with vanilla ice cream and still very delicious today, reminding my mother’s apple crisp in the 50’s. Thank you, you are a great insparation for a novice as
myself.
You’re welcome, glad you loved it!
Delicious! Because I was baking for a diabetic, I used Lakanto Monkfruit in place of the white granulated sugar. It worked perfectly…so much so that I’ll use monkfruit in other recipes. Thank you, Natasha, for your joyful videos as well as your amazing recipes!
Sounds great, Jill. I’m glad that the substitution that you used worked so well in this recipe. Thank you for sharing that with us.
I made this apple crisp for Thanksgiving and it was a hit the best apple crisp I ever had
Thank you
I’m so glad to hear that!
I added a bit more cinnamon. Turned out amazing ! Favorite apple crisp recipe now !
That sounds like a great idea! Thanks for sharing that with us, Haley. Glad you loved this recipe!
I haven’t made this yet, but can I use salted butter? I don’t have the unsalted and feel lazy running to the store. Ha! Thanks😁
I have not tested this. If you do, I would omit the remainder of the salt in the recipe. Hopefully, it won’t be too overwhelming. Let us know how it turns out if you try it!
So I used the salted butter and omitted the salt from the recipe. It turned out delicious. Because I used Granny Smith apples, I did put a full cup of sugar in and as you suggested and it was delicious.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Julie! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Natasha,
Is there anything else I can use if I don’t have casserole for making apple crisp?!??
You can use a pie dish and make two of them or just half the recipe.
Best apple crisp I ever had!!!
Throwing my old recipe out as it doesn’t come close to this one. I cut the sugar down to 1/2 cup, but that’s because I used fresh picked apples. They were super sweet to start with. Perfection!!
Love it! Thanks for sharing your experience trying out this recipe, Kathy. Glad you found your new go-to!
I made the apple crisp today.. and it was superb. My kids loved it. The oats crumble topping was so yummy. Thank you for making this recipe so easy and foolproof.
I love the way u have fun making it!!!
That’s fantastic feedback! Thank you for sharing that with us, glad your family enjoyed this recipe!
Natasha, I would love to make this apple crisp, but I a widow who lives alone. How can I decrease this recipe without spoiling it?
Hi Rita, yes, you could definitely make a half portion and reduce everything proportionally. If you have a dish that is smaller than a half portion, just reduce everything proportionally and you may need to reduce the bake time slightly until you see bubbling at the edges. In the recipe card, if you click on the number of servings, the recipe will scale up or down for you which will help with figuring out measurements.
Natasha did your fruit swapper really work? LOL! Also can you make a recipe for a dulce de leche and peanut butter mousse please? And can you make a peanut pretzel crunch recipe too? Thanks! 🙂
My husband later said we should have turned a $1 bill into $100 – ha! That would have stirred the pot. That combination of flavors sounds really good. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi Natasha,
Your recipes are wonderful, thank you….My family loves Apple Crisp but not my using rolled oats. Is there anything else I can use or are they necessary. Thank you agin for all your help.
Hi Anne, I always make this with rolled oats, but I suppose you could use a little more flour and maybe even add some chopped pecans to the mixture to add a little more texture.
Watched your YouTube video today on this apple crisp recipe. The ingredients are so easy to find in the pantry and worked out for us since we just went apple picking! My family LOVED this apple crisp recipe! So delicious with vanilla ice cream. Definitely making this again!
I’m happy to hear that you and your family loved this recipe! Thank you for your review, Genesis.
hi natasha, i love ur recipes but what apples did u recommend for this recipe?
granny smith apples are great, however, any apple would work.
Hi Natasha,
I just made this today!! But the topping didn’t come out crumbly like yours 🙁 It came out in clumps that stuck together. Did I mix them too much with my hands??
Might you know what I can do to make it crumbly next time??
My only thought would be that your butter was not properly softened.
There is nothing better than warm apple crisp!! We love it so much!! It’s easy & a go-to of ours!
YES I agree, so good!
Can you substitute nectarines for apples. I have nectarines I need to use.
I have not had a chance to try that yet but it seems yummy, let me know how it goes.
This apple crisp is absolutely delicious! I just made it and it’s still warm but I had to try it. My family will love it!
I’m so glad to hear that, thank you!
Do you think Macintosh apples would work for this recipe? Absolutely love all your recipes and your apple pie with crumb topping is my favorite! My husband ate it all before morning huge hit in our house
HI Kadie, Macintosh apples would work great here. I hope you love the apple crisp.
