Another Apple Crisp
A warm, comforting apple crisp with sweet and tart flavors, topped with a buttery brown sugar crumble. Perfect for cozy gatherings and dessert lovers alike.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put sliced apples, water, and lemon juice in a Pyrex dish.
- In a separate bowl, blend together brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, flour, and butter to make the crumble topping.
- Spread the crumble mixture evenly over the apples.
- Bake at 350°F until the topping is golden and the apples are tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For a variation, consider using a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for depth of flavor. If you don't have brown sugar, you can substitute with an equal amount of white sugar mixed with a bit of molasses. Ensure the butter is softened for easier blending into the crumble topping. You can also add oats to the topping for extra texture, reminiscent of traditional apple crisps.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast. This apple crisp pairs beautifully with Extra Easy Blueberry Cobbler for a mixed dessert platter. For a cozy breakfast twist, try serving it with yogurt and granola, making it a perfect dish for any time of day.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes until warmed through and the topping crisps back up. You can also microwave individual servings for a quick treat, but the topping may lose its crunch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of apples for this recipe?
Absolutely! Mixing different apple varieties adds complexity to the flavor. Tart apples like Granny Smith work well, while sweeter ones like Fuji or Gala can balance the tartness. Aim for a mix for the best results.
Can I make this apple crisp ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the apple filling and crumble topping separately a day in advance. Store them in the fridge, and when you're ready to bake, simply layer them in the dish and pop it in the oven for a warm, fresh dessert.
What if I don't have flour for the topping?
If you're out of flour, you can substitute with almond flour or oat flour for a gluten-free option. Alternatively, crushed oats can be used to create a hearty crumble that adds texture and flavor to the topping.
