- Wash, peel, and slice the apples.

- Pour the melted margarine over the top.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Bake for 40 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor of your Apple Crisp, consider adding a splash of lemon juice to the sliced apples to prevent browning and add brightness. For a twist, substitute half the all-purpose flour with oats for a chewier topping. If you're out of margarine, unsalted butter works perfectly as a substitute and will add richness to the dish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast to the warm, spiced apples. This dish pairs beautifully with Strawberry Dessert (Given To Clo Fletcher By Clara Hollingsworth) for a refreshing finish. Consider a drizzle of caramel sauce on top for an extra touch of sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Apple Crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick treat, but the oven method helps maintain the crispiness of the topping.
