Best Ever Apple Crisp

By 52 Comments

OMG this is the best apple crisp ever! It's got tons of crumble topping, and the inside is just jammed with tons of soft and sweet apples. So much better than pie, and it's so easy to make!
I’ll boast a lot about the food I cook… “This is really good” or “You’ve got to try out this one, you’ll love it”. But with all of those meals, there’s always a little room for improvement. This recipe though, this recipe has been THE apple crisp for us for over a decade now. It’s the one everyone loves from first bite, the one everyone wants the recipe to.

And here’s the biggest shocker: It’s the one that is just so, SO easy to make. It’s my go-to dessert if I’m in a pinch, or I’ve got company coming over. The hardest part is just cutting up the apples, and that takes a whole five minutes. Slice them nice and thin, like this:

The apple crisp is super easy to make. Just slice up all the apples and toss them into your baking dish. Whisk together the sugar, flour, and cinnamon and pour that over the apples. Toss them with a spoon and add the water, then just mix together the crumble and put it on top. 45 minutes later it’s out of the oven and making your house smell incredible!

Thanksgiving is just around the corner (Hi fellow Canadians!), and we’re right in the heart of apple season, so it’s the perfect time to show this one off. You know what my favourite part about the holiday season is? Giving stuff away, and I’m starting things off this year with a 2.5 Quart Vermillion Baker from CW by CorningWare for one of my fellow Canadians! Wondering what CW by CorningWare is? It’s the same trusted CorningWare that we’ve been using forever, they’ve just made it really fun with some bright new colours (like teal, my favourite!!)

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup water (if you like a runnier crisp, you can use up to ½ cup)

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup butter, melted

  3. Put the apple slices into a large oven safe dish.
  5. Whisk together the 1 tablespoon of flour, white sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkly evenly over top of the apples, then toss with a spoon to coat. Pour the water over the apples, do not mix.
  7. In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, oats, 2 cups flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Pour in the melted butter and mix well to combine (just use your hands). The mixture should form medium chunks.

    Such a great recipe and the colours of the baking set are amazing. I also love cooking with apples in the fall. I know it's all about pumpkin usually, but it's the apples that make me appreciate fall.

    This looks so delicious!! Was wondering if you have ever baked this for a potluck where it's not eaten right away? Does the crumble stay crisp?

      Hey Wendy! The crumble will absolutely stay crisp for you for hours. Most of the time when I make it we only get through half, and I cover it with foil and put it in the fridge once it's cooled, then the next night I just warm it back up, and the crumble is still crisp then too :) Hope you like it!

          Hey Audrey, Sorry it took me a day to get back to you, I got to take off for a kid-free anniversary weekend, and I tried to stay offline. You can absolutely use old fashioned oats in this recipe! I just want to mention that you were smart to double check though - in a lot of recipes you can't substitute them (especially going the other way, subbing quick cooking for old fashioned). Apple crisp is one of the few exceptions though, so use them and enjoy!

    Love the colours of the new bakeware! Apple crisp is definitely a family favourite for the fall. I wonder whether you could freeze a premade crisp with these dishes and cook it straight in the oven? Ideas....

    Hi! I want to make this for a baby shower tomorrow and was wondering if I make it today, should I bake it all today and just keep it covered on the counter/fridge or can I put it all together unbaked and keep it in the fridge and toss it in the oven tomorrow. Thanks so much!
    Reply

    • Katrina

      Hey Andrea! I would worry about the apples browning on you if you leave it unbaked in the fridge. I would say either bake it tonight, then just reheat tomorrow (in the oven), or make it today and throw it in the freezer, then bake it from frozen tomorrow. Same temperature, just takes a little longer. Hope you have a great baby shower!!!

He doesn't seem to understand the law very well And, the Florida Secretary of State (who makes these decisions) is sitting with and supporting the Obama side.

    I made this today and it turned out wonderful! I only used 1/4 cup water. I also cut the topping in half. It seemed like a lot when I was looking at the recipe. Even with 1/2 the topping, it was DELICIOUS! A new family favorite :)

    I wrote a whole big thing but the page refreshed and it deleted so long story short this is in fact the best apple crisp ever! I only had large/medium apples and I didn’t know how many to use so I ended up not using enough. So it would be nice to see like cups worth of apple instead of just the number amount. Also it made a HUGE amount and my dish wasn’t big enough so specifying how big the dish should be would have been nice too. I used a recipe someone else had printed out so I didn’t get the visual of the dish. Other than that. It was fucking delicious and super easy! Made it on Wednesday and it’s now Saturday and I’m still eating it. It’s still super yummy. Going to bring some to my therapist tomorrow! ALSO I made mine vegan by using vegan margarine instead of butter and it came out amazing! Will definitely recommend this recipe to everyone!!!
