Ingredients
Instructions
- Slice 6 or 8 large peeled apples and place them in an 8 x 8-inch pan.
- Cut margarine and flour together until crumbly, then add the remaining ingredients.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a delightful twist, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or swapping in some chopped nuts for added crunch. If you prefer a healthier option, consider using whole wheat flour and reducing the sugar slightly. Ensure the apples are tart for the best flavor contrast; Granny Smith apples work wonderfully in this recipe. If you're short on time, pre-made oat topping can be a quick substitute.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Yummy Apple Crisp warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top for a classic pairing. It also goes well with coffee or tea, making it a great dessert for gatherings. For a special occasion, consider serving it alongside Punch Buns for a delightful variety.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply place the apple crisp in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick treat, but the oven will keep the topping crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen apples for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen apples, but be sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid to avoid a soggy crisp. It's best to use apples that have been prepped and frozen without added sugar for the best results.
What can I substitute for butter in this recipe?
If you're looking for a dairy-free option, you can substitute the butter with coconut oil or a plant-based margarine. For a lighter option, unsweetened applesauce can also be used, though it may alter the texture slightly.
How do I know when the apple crisp is done baking?
The apple crisp is done when the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. You can check the apples with a fork; if they pierce easily, it's ready to come out of the oven. A nice bubbling around the edges is also a good sign!
